Robert Glasper in conversation
Soweto sits down with the American pianist, producer and contemporary music titan.
‘Round Midnight is presented by award-winning saxophonist Soweto Kinch. This weekday late-night show celebrates the thriving UK jazz scene and spotlights the best new music alongside incredible acts from past decades.
This Friday night, Soweto is joined by the ever-explorative and prolific music-maker Robert Glasper. A five-time Grammy winner, Robert is widely celebrated for his fusion of jazz and hip hop. He is a first-call musician and producer for fellow star-studded artists from across jazz, hip hop and neo-soul, working with artists including Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, and Terence Blanchard.
Long-time friends, Soweto and Robert sit down for a conversation full of laughs, memories and insights as they chat about Robert’s career so far. They discuss everything from Robert’s early musical influences, to his traditional jazz albums, his work as a composer for film, and much more.
Expect music from J Dilla, Roy Hargrove’s RH Factor, and Robert Glasper’s Black Radio series.
