Robert Glasper is the leader of a new sonic paradigm with a career that bridges musical and artistic genres. To date, he boasts five Grammy wins and sixteen nominations across eleven categories. Additionally, he received an Emmy for his song for Ava Duvernay’s critically hailed documentary 13th with Common and Karriem Riggins. His work and accolades bridge all aspects of the music business, from live touring to film scoring, composing and producing.
Evolution is his hallmark. Glasper’s breakout crossover album Black Radio changed the face of the genre and set a new expectation for what popular music could be. Then, the album won him the Grammy for best R&B album. Further, it established him as the musician of choice for some of the world’s most iconic artists. Glasper played keys throughout Kendrick Lamar‘s To Pimp A Butterfly, winning another Grammy for the elastic track “These Walls”. The ongoing Black Radio series has become Glasper’s calling card, upholding a place at the heart of a trailblazing community.

Ms. Lisa Fischer & Grand Baton

“Lisa Fischer in concert is addictive… transcendent” – Star Tribune

When the iconic Ms. Lisa Fischer sings, she brings a joyous sense of discovery to every setting. The Grammy and Oscar-winning powerhouse vocalist is at the peak of her powers, blazing her own path. Additionally, she carries traces of the legendary stars she’s collaborated with over four decades. However, Fischer is a constellation in her own right, singing with what Keith Richards describes as “amazing power, energy, and projection”. Also, he should know: Fischer toured with the Rolling Stones for twenty-six years.
Finally, Fischer has taken her rightful place among America’s greatest vocalists. She truly does it all: she can stretch out in an intimate duo with jazz piano maestro Taylor Eigsti. Then, she raises the roof with the spiritually charged Gullah funk combo Ranky Tanky. She creates luminous soundscapes onstage with the dancers of Alonzo King LINES Ballet. Also, she follows her uninhibited muse with her trio Grand Baton and their organic fusion of Caribbean psychedelic soul and jazzy progressive rock. “A talent that comes once in a lifetime,” declares Roberta Flack. “Like Haley’s Comet, her brilliance is dazzling and brings light into the world.”
At first glance Fischer might seem like a paradox. She spent much of her career exulting in the role of the ultimate team player as an elite backup singer. She shared the stage with Luther Vandross, the Rolling Stones, Sting, Tina Turner, and Nine Inch Nails. But when her story was featured in the Oscar-winning 2013 documentary 20 Feet From Stardom, Fischer experienced a course-changing epiphany. “I was always looking at the next tour, the next gig,” she said. “The film gave me a chance to take stock and realize I could start defining my own path.”

“Cleary is the 8th wonder of the world” – Bonnie Raitt

Jon Cleary has led the ever-evolving musical landscape of New Orleans for thirty-five years. Now, the Grammy Award-winning pianist decided to bring that sound back home, both figuratively and literally. There, he assembled his Absolute Monster Gentlemen in his home studio in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. Then, he drew up a setlist of some of his most beloved songs– and some new favorites– and rolled tape.
“We set out to capture that sound in the old-fashioned way: everybody in the room, playing together,” Cleary explains.
Thus, the result is The Bywater Sessions, a musical tour-de-force that showcases the grit, funk and joy that’s packed concert halls from New Orleans to Tokyo and beyond. Here, it’s a stunning collection of performances that affirms Cleary’s place in the New Orleans musical vanguard.
“There’s a lot to be said for the ‘lean and mean’ sound of a piano trio, stripped down to basics, simple and direct,” Cleary says. “But recently, I’ve been experimenting with different combinations; adding horns, guitar, percussion and even another keyboard player. This expanded line-up has allowed the arrangements to blossom in new directions.”
“Sophisticated, nasty, good-time, low-down funk is the folk music of New Orleans,” Cleary says. “Everyone playing on this recording is a New Orleanian by birth or by choice. Having learned their craft at the feet of the masters who in turn were taught by the old lions in their day. It’s a tradition stretching back over two hundred years. The roots go deep, but each generation, growing up with street parades and second-lines, absorbs the old and introduces the new.”
