Was on the same concert (w.John Handy) as Robert Glasper (piano) and Vicente Archer (bass) and drummer Damion Reid.I really liked this trio. Conceptually very different from anything I’ve heard before and all on acoustic instruments (at least for this show) I guess you could say it’s a jazz trio… but not really. It gets funky and down and then “out there” and watch out; Robert Glasper understand the creative effect of modulating tempo shifts (to another tempo) and related meter without you hardly knowing what happened. They will be playing something complex and funky and then right before your ears the original tempo has slightly modulated to a new one. (Metric Modulation)
