▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Robert Glasper is a 20-some pianist originally from ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Houston who has gained experience and exposure on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the New York scene in the bands of Russell Malone, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mark Whitfield, and Marcus Strickland. On the jazz ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tip, he has also led a noted, well-frequented jam ▓▌
▓████▓▌ session on Thursday nights at the UpAndOver Cafe in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Brooklyn. There's another side to Glasper though: ▓▌
▓████▓▌ he's been a mainstay in the touring band of R&B ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sensation Bilal (a guest on two tracks here). So on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mood, his debut record, he brings both influences ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to the fold, albeit in a way definitely slanted to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the jazz side of his expression. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mood might be interpreted at first sight to be a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ômood record.ö This is accurate only as relates to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the tracks with Bilal though, which include a very ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ethereal version of Herbie Hancock's ôMaiden ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Voyageö and the vocal feature ôDon't Close Your ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Eyes,ö which is definitely a moody ballad to say ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the least. For those not familiar, Bilal is not a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ stereotypical male R&B vocalist in any way, so he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ should prove to be of interest to openminded ▓▌
▓████▓▌ listeners. He doesn't try to be a ôjazz singerö ▓▌
▓████▓▌ here but he's not asked to be either, only to bring ▓▌
▓████▓▌ his thing to the table in terms of generating some ▓▌
▓████▓▌ serious atmosphere. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The majority of the record, though, is devoted to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ well-executed, swinging and creative piano trio ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music made in tandem with Glasper's comrades: ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bassist Robert Hurst and drummer Damion Reid. This ▓▌
▓████▓▌ is the same trio that recorded under Bob Hurst's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ leadership two years ago on UnRehurst, also a very ▓▌
▓████▓▌ worthwhile record, and it's clear that the rapport ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the three share has continued to develop. It's a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ very rhythmically flexible unit that has no trouble ▓▌
▓████▓▌ changing feels and seems as comfortable playing a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mellow ballad as something uptempo. ôLil Tipsy,ö in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ particular, offers a great example of the unit's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ flexibility with time, gradually speeding up and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ down with wonderful precision: a trio with an ▓▌
▓████▓▌ automatic transmission, it would seem. ôAlone ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Together,ö meanwhile, sounds positively ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mehldau-like in the reading of the melody. When the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ solos begin, though, it's clear that's not the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ route chosen. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Robert Glasper, as the main melodic voice, excels ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in providing crisp melodic statements. His soloing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ is not yet terribly distinctive but there are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ compensations in the form of a nice, lighter touch ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and in restraining his considerable chops in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ service of space. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ San Francisco-based horn player John Ellis, a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ member of Charlie Hunter's various outfits, guests ▓▌
▓████▓▌ here on two cuts: alongside Marcus Strickland on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ôL.N.K. Blues,ö and with Mike Moreno, a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Houston-based guitarist who has often worked ▓▌
▓████▓▌ together with Glasper, on ôMood.ö These soloists ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bring a more extroverted quality to the affair that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ serves as a nice contrast to the sometimes- subdued ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sound of the trio by itself. The title track, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ featuring Moreno and Ellis, is especially memorable ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as an example of Glasper's writing ability. It's a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ plaintive, open piece with a ösuspension bridgeö ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that would be quite at home on a Pat Metheny or ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Brian Blade record. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Overall, this is a nice if not quite outstanding ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record. Those who have heard Glasper live or on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record - on Mark Whitfield's Raw he is particularly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fine - will welcome this worthy first outing by the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ young pianist. And for those as yet unacquainted ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with Glasper, there are plenty of younger pianists ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by whom one could do worse. Look for Mr. Glasper to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ be an in-demand sideman and recording artist for a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ long time. ▓▌
