ROBERT GLASPER Levels | Keyscape Sessions

With the historic events of the last few weeks still deeply on our minds, we remembered this incredible moment when Robert Glasper joined us to check out Keyscape for the first time. This haunting piano meditation was created as Robert was checking out the Cinematic C7 Piano in Keyscape. There are times when Music can speak louder than words and this seemed like the right time to put this one together and share it with you guys. Thank you Robert!
For this mix, we ended up turning all the internal reverb/EQ off that patch to give a more intimate sound.

Robert is using a Roland A-88 to play Keyscape in this video. The keyboard stand is a custom Gibraltar build.

In 2017 I took care of my mother, she was very ill. The only piece of music she loved was Levels, it brought serenity, brought her peace. She died december 14th 2017. I miss her every day. Robert Glasper thanks forever❤

[@Shornetastic]

I'm sorry for your loss. I don't usually comment, but I just heard Robert's newest release the other day and I think you would connect with it. Hope you have a good one :-)

What's your favorite music playlist? - Keyscape Sessions

[@librisc]

I so wished there would be entire sessions of the stellar artists handpicked by Spectrasonics. I would have the playlists on repeats. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[@bwalkeri]

Even as big as he is, I think Robert Glasper should be way more popular then he already is, but I’m glad that the audience he gets the attention from are people who enjoy actual music.

[@jck_777]

what does size have to do with talent?

[@stuarthenry3157]

​@@jck_777 It doesn't, he never made that comparison. He's just wishing Glasper was more popular so more people could hear his amazing music. As do I.

[@khalid6949]

jck77 he meant big as a “big name” not big in size

[@bavumilenkosi9425]

True

[@emmanuelgaravito4524]

that's right, nowadays they don't usually make good music anymore, most of them make auditory crap

[@montigo2063]

The way he looks off into space...

[@aayushpathakFHL]

If I could ever play an instrument so well that music just flows out of me and I can simply amuse myself....the ultimate dream

[@herbertboakye8025]

Indeed the ultimate dream

[@essegotdatheat3310]

Keep practicing, learn scales, keep practicing some more, play to a metronome, keep going. You’ll be surprised how achievable it is to simply speak with an instrument.

[@Adrenalean767]

Well I'm Livin the dream

[@drampz_]

@@essegotdatheat3310 yeah, a great motto for this, "if you wanna do it, just do"

[@davidecandoli1966]

I crossed a milestone along my musical path when I realized that what you say is the primary target of technique practicing. Up to that moment I thought studying technique was barely a means to "unlock" new capabilities and virtuosisms, then I've figured out that I need it first of all to make myself more comfortable and satisfied with what I already know. Have a good day

[@DonnieDaise]

Disappointed that he’s never released an album of just himself playin keys. His band and trio albums are great, but I’d like to hear just him play for a whole album straight through for once.

[@TheJbeatsProductions]

He's a team player. Can tell by his playing. The master of spacing.

[@Tshegomokwana]

Try hitting him up on IG, might respond

[@harlembofill4206]

✊🏿🔥✊🏿🔥✊🏿🔥.... Missing my mom... Rest in peace 🕊️🙄🙏🏿. Mama.. I miss you like a warm coat 🧥 on cold ❄️😢 day... Jesus 🙏🏿 I know it's been 10 years. I can't seem to get it off my mind.🙄. The only person who ever loved me unconditionally... Love your parents.. 😢😢..

[@empingabo6183]

Finally, the master 🙏

[@SantiH1977]

Virtuosity not equal to velocity, explained in one song.

[@natey57]

I couldn’t agree more .

[@samuelele]

Totally true.

[@straizys]

what do you mean?

[@goseeaboutagirl]

Vytautas Straižys being a virtuoso doesn't mean lots of fast notes

[@straizys]

ah that.. well I thought you pointing to a shitty velocity and dynamic range of keyscape piano which Robert nicely disguising with his mastery of flat dynamics and careful touch

[@StefanMiller]

When he looks up, it's as if he's consulting with the heavens to confirm his next chords.

[@nathanmcauley7707]

Wonders of Keyscape aside (which I'm intending to purchase when I convince my wife it's essential), this channel has introduced me to many artists I've not heard before - all of whom are incredible. For that, I thank you!

[@ijimedia]

thank you robert glasper for all you've done for music! I feel privileged to be able to play black american music during this time! black lives matter!

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

Indeed!

[@anthonyaustin2166]

Stunning

[@JCox964]

H-Town native appreciation

[@eyelidman09]

Mr Glasper has a beautiful touch and simplicity in his playing. Simply delightful. Just the tonic.Thank you.😷👍😷

[@innocentmwagilo406]

Keyscape doesn't just give the piano to you. They make it sound like a whole conscious being speaking.

[@uryic000]

This right here is my dude. I call him a modern day Quincy Jones because of his fearlessness musically. Will collaborate with anyone. genre bending and genre mixing he isn't scared. His original roots like so many, from the gospel of church to straight ahead jazz then on. This my dude. Brother ain't scared top mix it up. His mind and imagination are off the charts. Love RG

[@foursevnnn]

I’m gonna say it! GREATEST JAZZ PIANIST OF THIS GENERATION!

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

Now, if only Glasper could team up with Cory Henry....I'd pay anything to see this..

[@speakki]

Yeah 47, can't disagree. So, so good.

[@mellotones]

Facts

[@tuneunleashed]

Mmmmm....maybe Neo Soul but no jazz Chick is still around.

[@foursevnnn]

Lordtunes World chick didn’t start making music this generation

[@ChuloDavidcito]

Heavenly and poignant. It's a rare privilege to hear Robert.

[@newwinedevelopment]

Wonderful. He and Bill Evans are brothers. So peaceful and beautiful.

[@christopheracat7089]

It is a musical moment suspended in time and space. Like an arrow, he goes straight to the bottom of the soul. Thank you Gentlemen !!

[@simonbackwash]

Goosebumps and tears of joy. Thanks for making me so great full for being a human with 2 ears

[@VenuzBeats]

Glasper's my biggest musical inspiration.

[@stuarthenry3157]

Same dude. His music is an obsession at this point for me.

[@mrlofi333]

This brother is truly gifted. I got into neo soul piano voicing/progressions because of him. Great Gosepl/Jazz piano piece.

[@ThomAdams]

[@matslarsson5988]

Thats beyond fantastic. I'm really embarrassed that I didn't know about this artist before watching this video. I clearly have been missing out.

[@brentduanefoster]

Better late than never! Check out his projects.

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

Glasper and Cory Henry are on my indispensable playlist

[@JCox964]

Also you need to check out his credits of artist that he’s produced & perform with. Jill Scott etc. Amazing he is... H~Town native

[@luvhaniranenyeni8502]

Glasper .. he has the most amazing touch

[@kingdommindset5613]

Never get tired of hearing this guy. On a spiritual LEVEL make me think he’s Beethoven/Mozart back regenerated on earth 🎶 🔥🤯. Keep bringing it brother

[@toddjohnson7523]

A friend of mine was personal training a music teacher named Doc who told him to go see one of his ex students at a small venue in Houston named Cezanne. The trainer couldn’t make it but told me what Doc said. I went to the venue that capacity was 50 and saw Glasper and Chris Dave that night and it was history! My mind was forever blown! Todd Johnson is a fan for life!!!

[@darrenhirst9900]

When you have quality its easy to come up with melodies. Robert plays at the next level and I'm feeling the love he has for music.

[@JMathiasBennett]
