His name started trending on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> soon after, which, maybe naively, I thought might have been because people were thrilled for him.

Glasper has been a sort of floodgate for music throughout his career, allowing genres to pour through his piano or slow to a focused trickle as needed. It&#8217;s served him well in his own musical collectives and attracted dozens of collaborators, who&#8217;ve brought in Glasper for their own projects and often returned the favor on Glasper&#8217;s <i>Black Radio<\/i> series, a celebration of Black collective creativity.  <\/p>\n<p>            I particularly like Glasper in deluge mode. Take his 2014 North Sea Jazz Festival performance of Nirvana&#8217;s &#8220;Smells Like Teen Spirit&#8221; with The Robert Glasper Experiment, a group that seeks to &#8220;<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.passionweiss.com\/2021\/10\/21\/we-get-more-and-more-inside-the-stage-an-interview-with-robert-glasper\/\">reach further<\/a>&#8221; beyond the scope of a traditional piano trio. Here, that includes Lalah Hathaway, Bilal, and a full orchestra. It feels like everyone&#8217;s packed in shoulder-to-shoulder; once you hear them play, it&#8217;s clear that every musician is needed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Originally appearing on Glasper&#8217;s Grammy-winning 2012 project <i>Black Radio<\/i>, the &#8220;Smells Like Teen Spirit&#8221; cover is expanded from a subtle and doleful number perfect from brooding on a velvet couch into something with far more epic scope, like a Bond theme if the title character had clinical depression. The opening minutes are all orchestra, added just for the performance, aiming for the rarefied-yet-stuffy air classical music occupies and placing a grunge song there. Then, to the march of a jazz drum pattern, everything blends seamlessly into the Experiment&#8217;s original. Bilal&#8217;s voicebox is a subdued, robotic murmur while Glasper pads to the mood with neo-soul keys \u2014 if it weren&#8217;t for the video, you might think the setting was far more intimate. <\/p>\n<p>            My favorite part of the live version is the guitar. The solo on the original &#8220;Teen Spirit&#8221; is intentionally humble, an encapsulation of the rawness and accessibility that made Kurt Cobain an icon. To turn that into something more indebted to Prince is almost absurdly bold. But that&#8217;s Glasper&#8217;s deluge at work, filling the empty space in your speakers with a love of sound, no matter the source, and sticking it together so well that imagining the elements apart feels wrong. <\/p>\n<p>            When an artist is that good, it&#8217;s on you to find out who the fuck he is. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-242335\" class=\"content_block paragraph video triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Robert Glasper Experiment &amp; Lalah Hathaway &amp; Bilal - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Live NSJ 2014)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MpyG69Uc0tg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('242335');\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-242322\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TFI7834680816&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"482\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Jordan Darville<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
