The Worst is arranged beautifully.

[@JamilSmith]

I once wrote a cover story for a magazine while listening to this and only this, repeated over and over. Best part is, I later got to interview Glasper and express my thanks. He is a singular talent.

[@poltallach]

Thank you Jamil, and if I may borrow your inspiration, I will listen to this while writing as well! Beautiful, soulful and inspiring indeed. I can only imagine your interview with Robert Glasper was wonderful.

[@quantumo2099]

Tsh….freedom is not being a slave to your desires…on that note, you were saying

[@alexhorton7845]

Jhene Aiko does this song, folks were calling it "forgettable." Mr. Glasper touches it, it becomes beautiful.

[@shamielx1316]

one of my all time favs, covered by Glasper as only Glasper can.... Wooooohhhhwwwwwweeee. I am touched and transported by the language that is uniquely music....

[@deryksmith8942]

This brother is phenomenal! I saw the movie “The Photograph” and was mesmerized by the soundtrack and bought it on the way home!

[@RealManfish]

Robert's music taught me to love again, a long time ago.

[@beverlymoses3659]

Jazz at it's absolute finest....... take me away!

[@byronprice225]

Man this is of the true jazz vibe . I grew up with Coltrane, Dizzy, Wes Montgomery. Thanks Mom for all the Great Music. Now I can appreciate The RG.

[@lordbuddhamonk5702]

Wow. Iam Dutch. But Let me tell U one thing America. Black people are the best in culture. In theatre music and sports. International treasures 😎

[@rdolle990]

What a lefty remark making this a "racist" thing now....

[@debrawilliams1693]

Truth hurts

[@phillipporter5071]

It's not racist to understand history, and the magic our ppl bring. When for most of the time whites regurgitate that Ole "blacks contributed nothing to modernized America. Truth is without my ancestors you don't have a culture... so enjoy the music and teach your children.

[@GeneralKenobi200]

Black people is an entire race, man. You are talking big numbers of ppl.

[@jmoses7345]

Exactly 💯

[@maurice6987]

Super Fact.

[@karabomophiring4227]

I’ve played this “joint” at least 30 times since the first time I heard it. Dinner Party as a concept is truly “insane”. Terrace Martin, who I’ve loved since “Beige”, Kamasi since “Street Fighter Mas” and, well, Glasper 👌🏾 who I recently saw in Johannesburg, South Africa. I like how they don’t try and dominate each other but instead let the colab play itself out in such a pleasing manner.

[@DelLileRealEstate]

It's hard to stop listening to RG.

The man plays incredible!!! His touch on the keys is divine. Not a showboater, but plays soooooo deep!

[@moniquecavard745]

ouyi!!je l'adore!!

[@quantumo2099]

Not a show boat is the best part. Ran into several musicians who claimed they toured with him. Dunno, but all have said he's a cool/nice dude.

[@thabiecynthia500]

Wow good staff 👍 indeed I discovered him just now on you tube & he just frees my mind...

[@marnixweiler5759]

Saw him live! Maybe not a showboater but definitely a showman 😉

[@Chris-px2gf]

@@marnixweiler5759 definitely can be a showboater when he wants to, the man can shred the piano as well

[@pame4345]

I like this more than the original song. It sounds like a great jazz piece on its own.

[@remnant1018]

I would love to see him perform this with Jene Aiko.😌That would be a wonderful collaboration.

[@felixrodriguez3358]

Nothing like them keys. This is my shit!

[@flaxisart]

True innovator & prophet for the next generation.

[@7yotta]

I identify with this song. It’s hopeful with a cathartic melancholy feel . Like thinking about the best of past relationships without thinking about the reason why the relationship is over.

[@msticdrumr]

Well, you know Robert is a groove master who knows how to weave a mood and this piece is sweet in the way the drummer is playing the melody via the mallets!!! The bass is so spot ON!!!

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

The instrumentation is SO nice here

[@phillipporter5071]

You can close your eyes and this speaks to whatever mood you're in...

Robert Glasper is so talented and his music is a work of art. I can always appreciate real music.

What a recording! Sound engineers, i salute you!

[@gil-evens]

The double bass came in like a whole universe

[@darrelmckaig7100]

Yes the engineers did great and obviously the musicians are all excellent, but I would say the room also helped. Appears to be recorded in the large room at Capitol. I was there back in the late 70's. The room is amazing.

[@rdolle990]

Meh, I find it a bit of dark recording with a high emphasis on the low end. It misses openness and sparkle.

This song is exquisite. The rhythm of the music conjures up the sense of a great voyage through different places and different times in history. It drags up the soul and then treats it to a delight that it always wanted unknowingly. Glasper, your piano notes make this piece the mastery of sound that it is. You have found a composition that is endlessly enjoyable to listen to and flourishes in its casual simplicity

[@dxwallace55]

The powers that control the music industry don't want people taking in a positive wavelength, positive energy, and positive vibrations. They are trying to tell us what to listen to. That being songs with b_tches and n-words in the lyrics. Get wise people!!! .... and be comfortable listening to what your soul is feeling, not what society is saying is hip or popular. Forgot to mention GREAT SONG!!!!!
