Jazz / Post-Bop
Recorded: May 14, 2005-May 25, 2005
Robert Glasper - piano, fender rhodes (7, 8 & 10), kalimba (7)
Vincente Archer - bass instrument
Damion Reed - drums
Special guests:
Bilal - vocals (7 & 10)
Mark Turner - tenor saxophone (2 & 8)
Canvas puts forth Glasper as a new voice to be reckoned with threefold: as a pianist, as a composer, and as one third of a trio that Ben Ratliff of The New York Times has said "deserves comparison with the best of the newer piano trios, those led by Jason Moran, Bill Charlap and Brad Mehldau." Ratliff went on: "his group has its own crisp, skittering cooperation, with hip hop in its bounce."
As a pianist, Glasper owns a melodic sense that can mesmerize you and a technique that can scare you, but thankfully he also possesses the innate sense to know exactly which is needed at a given moment. He's absorbed all the usual influences (Tyner, Hancock, Corea, Jarrett) and yet he exhibits a sound that's undeniably Glasper, his delicate touch and harmonic sense as recognizable as any of the aforementioned masters.
As a composer, a facet of Glasper's musicianship that there's no getting around on Canvas with nine of the ten compositions his own (the sole exception being Herbie Hancock's "Riot" performed as a tempo-and-feel-shifting quartet outing with tenor saxophonist Mark Turner), he demonstrates a flair for the deceptively simplistic. Lovely melodies and chord structures that wind and repeat, flowing so seamlessly from one phrase to the next that it's easy to lose track of where they begin and end ("Portrait of an Angel" and "Chant," the latter of which features the vocal stylings of Bilal). Odd and mixed meters that sound so natural that the casual listener would never suspect that the band is swingin' in seven ("Jelly's Da Beener") or that they've moved from 5/4 to 5/8 and back again ("Canvas," which also features another of Turner's remarkable solo turns).

Hailing from Houston, TX, pianist Robert Glasper is a jazz pianist with a knack for mellow, harmonically complex compositions that also reveal a subtle hip-hop influence. Inspired to play piano by his mother, a gospel pianist and vocalist, Glasper attended Houston's High School for the Performing Arts. After graduation Glasper studied music at the New School University in Manhattan, where he found performance work with such luminaries as bassist Christian McBride, saxophonist Kenny Garrett, and others. Since graduating college, Glasper has worked with a variety of artists, including trumpeter Roy Hargrove, vocalist Carly Simon, and rapper Mos Def. The pianist released his debut album, Mood, on Fresh Sound New Talent in 2004. Canvas and In My Element followed in 2005 and 2007 respectively on Blue Note Records.
