Wow! Did not expect this, my favorite comedian interviewing my favorite musician.

[@SusanHopkinson]

And he’s also a very funny musician 😁 bonus!

[@MrMonopolistic]

Word!!!!

[@pazzifiedpazzified]

We should be friends

[@lateshiachilds3640]

That is why I love Trevor Noah he is funny and he interview real artists. I love how he interviewed Solange Knowles about her latest record. Now to see Robert Glasper so cool.

[@ceelothatmane9421]

Didn’t expect to see “my favorite comedian” in reference to Trevor Noah 😂😂

[@jeromegriffin7100]

Robert Glasper is in a class by himself. Extreme great talent with music. I have all his albums that you can play from the beginning to the end. This album Black Radio III is the best ever!!! It’s like every album he makes it gets better and better.

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." -Bruce Lee

[@DeeMorrison818]

I had never heard of him. I had to go check him out. Thirty seconds in, I am downloading his stuff. Thanks Trevor. ☺️💕

[@William-Gregory]

Enjoy man. He's so dope.

[@mrpicky1868]

how? he is like Dilla of live hip hop and modern jazz

[@SaHayes-it2uw]

Listen to "Of Dreams to Come" and also his version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Both are excellent in different ways.

[@jck_777]

@@SaHayes-it2uw and "Cherish the Day"

[@SaHayes-it2uw]

@@jck_777 yes!!

[@JazznRealHipHop]

Much love for that J Dilla mention, his born date was the 7th just the other day. RG keeps it fresh while honoring ALL that came before him, stay blessed brother

[@msetgl2003]

Robert Glasper is a musical genius. Thank you for representing H-town so well.

[@themandinkafamily]

I loooove him. Soooo talented. Breath of fresh air away from politics. He's a brilliant pianist and has worked with sooooo many ppl u know!

[@AntActApp]

Having a voicing named after you is the highest honor a pianist/contributor to music can achieve

[@josiahanunike2376]

😂😂😂 The way he seems like a comedian him self is just so funny

[@luisrocha26]

and then he gets his fifth Grammy with Black Radio III, which is simply beautiful. I simply love how he's confident but also humble, everything with this ironic sense of humor. Guy's a true genius.

[@romanieo]

Killer Mike's verse is worth its weight in GOLD, on Black Superhero. Great interview, Trevor. Congrats RG!!!!

[@christianokami2220]

Glasper is a phenomenal pianist. Back when I was in recovery for a broken hand, I got to be in an audience right behind him as he played, and his technique was the fuel for using piano practice as hand therapy. *context: bro did a fluid arpeggiation for 7 minutes straight. That takes tons of hand dexterity and strength.

[@elleshaw9837]

I own everything he makes. ♥️ him.

[@katlego0773]

Just saw him perform in Johannesburg here at a jazz festival. I must confess I was not familiar with his game. What a performance.

[@mhlave2440]

The Bruce Lee of the piano 🎹 . 😂😂😂

[@CPHYSO]

I looooooove Robert Glasper!!, Black Radio II is beautiful I can't wait for the III!!

[@619mangp]

Love Robert Glasper. Met him when he came to 🇿🇦 with Maxwell.Only celebrity i ever asked to take a picture with. Big fan.

[@lisarimpson8666]

@619mamgp I met him at the Black Radio 1 Album Release. Great dude. Uber talented.

[@mrpicky1868]

one guy that is well known but surely underhyped. he is like one of the few real talents in modern scene

[@saschamaj]

He's a great talent, but the modern scene has many fantastic jazz musicians at the moment.

[@mrpicky1868]

@@saschamaj highly recommend Covered album

Always been a fan. Can't wait for the third instalment. Also his live shows are on my bucket list

Thank you Trevor and crew! I had never heard of this man, but... . .what a talent! Been listening to various things he's done all day. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@lisarimpson8666]

You’re in for a wonderful world of discovery.

[@MelAFig]

This should be blowing up way more! This is gold!

[@bmuhamad]

And platinum. G-d willing.

[@1knowsnothing1]

BHM calibrate Reggie Middleton as the inventor of DeFi and now aboriginal US and Japanese patent holder. Trevor, if you’re reading the comments please look into this phenomenal man. His story NEEDS to be told. No media is covering it!!

[@danyelleterry2138]

Love his music. Came across his music on KZbin. Thank you Robert! "Better than I could've imagined.."

[@AprilCampbell]

Who is here back again after the ChrisBrown Grammy rant. I hope the both of them can work together after this. I’ve always loved Robert Glasper and don’t think that Chris meant the intent to hurt him as much as he did the inconsistencies of the Grammy awards and their racist undertones in Black artists

[@bmuhamad]

I simply love his version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

[@Max-zg2ci]

Black Radio is one of the greatest composed and produced albums of the last 20 years.

[@SusanHopkinson]

What a delight to meet the man behind the music!

[@theadrenalizedartist6843]

The story about the Catholic Church sounds awesome!! Robert Glasper is one of my favorites.Enjoyed this interview

[@basilwhite]

Maybe my favorite Trevor Noah interview.

[@Scriabin_fan]

I love Glasper's music so much. His harmonic language is just so creative, fresh, and hip

[@avwise4565]

RG is the Real Truth in music that the world is finally waking up to..all his music make my playlists...recognize! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@JaeSwift10JamellaSwift]

His "F Yo Feelings" album is a classic!

[@robertedmondson1038]

Wishing this interview could have been much longer. Robert Glasper comes across as being so engaging, and I have a newfound appreciation for Trevor. Well done.

[@KuttyJoe]

Robert Glasper is actually a funny guy in addition to his musical talents. The guy is truly blessed.

[@warren2948]

[@DianeOfori]

It's my dream to work with Robert Glasper

[@JoonieJuice]

I only stumbled on this interview because of a recommendatio from RM from BTS. I'm so glad I did. Wow. I'm truly sad I never came across his music before.

[@yolondalogan3309]

Trevor knows jazz? Nice! I have to get that mixed tape now...with everything from Jagged Edge to Robert Glasper and a few surprises. You know people would buy that mixed tape if you made one right?

[@saschamaj]

As Trump would say: this was a perfect conversation.

[@petersellas7025]

Robert Glasper îs amazing. Love his music. I've been following him for yeas.......

[@tacrewgirl]

I love his music from The Photograph soundtrack. It's perfect.
