Video: Bilal X Robert Glasper Experiment "Reminisce" + More Live in Chicago
Some illuminating footage of The Robert Glasper Experiment featuring Bilal, courtesy of our dude Mr. Bayers over at the Funkit blog. Watch Glasper intro this live version of Bilal's "Reminisce" (above--produced by J Dilla and featuring Mos Def & Common on the original) with a nice anecdote about playing Ms. Pac Man while Dilla pulled the bass-line together out of several different jazz records. And then watch the piano solo/intro from "All Matter" after the jump to see why this post could just as easily be headed Robert Glasper X Bilal; every one of this cat's fingers is a lead singer. I strongly recommend you click through to Funkit to see the rest of "All Matter" plus 3 or 4 more clips from this show at Chicago's Double Door. Glasper's new LP Black Radio is out now (purchase via the buttons below)
