Robert Glasper
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK: GRAMMY®-winning pianist, producer, songwriter, and musical arranger Robert Glasper returns to Atlanta this month for a four-night stint at City Winery. In recent years, the prolific artist has released several albums, including 2022’s Best R&B Album winner Black Radio III, the Apple Music-exclusive holiday EP In December, and the latest Dinner Party — a collaborative outfit featuring Glasper, Terrace Martin, Kamasi Washington, and 9th Wonder — project Enigmatic Society, among others. Needless to say, Robert Glasper has a lot of really great music to share with concert attendees. The Houston native and music industry veteran is blessing Atlanta with eight shows over the course of four days, and some of those shows are already selling out. Grab your tickets as soon as possible — and get ready to experience a heavenly and soulful musical experience in one of the city’s swankiest live music venues. — Joshua Robinson
$55-$85. 6:30 p.m. or 9:30 p.m. City Winery, 650 North Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30308. citywinery.com/atlanta @citywineryatl
From the venue:
Robert Glasper is the leader of a new sonic paradigm with a career that bridges musical and artistic genres. To date, he boasts 5 Grammy wins and 11 nominations across 11 categories, an Emmy Award for his song for Ava Duvernay’s critically hailed documentary “13th” with Common and Karriem Riggins, and a Peabody Award for his Composition of “Mr. Soul!”. His work and accolades bridge all aspects of the music business, from live touring to film scoring, composing and producing. The ongoing Black Radio series has since become Glasper’s calling card, upholding a place at the heart of a trailblazing community: from long-time sonic brothers Mos Def and Bilal, to legends including Ledisi, Lupe Fiasco, Jill Scott, and Erykah Badu. Glasper is an artist at the heart of a moment - and a movement - to champion Black music, Black people, and the possibility of a better future.Read MoreRobert Glasper | 06/04/2024 6:30 PM
