Like an aircraft‟s black box for which the album is titled\, Black Radio holds the truth and is indestructible.\n \n With Black Radio\, the Experiment band has fully arrived. Featuring Glasper on piano and Fender Rhodes\, Casey Benjamin on vocoder and saxophone\, Derrick Hodge on electric bass\, and Chris Dave on drums\, the band is plugged in and open source. Each of the band members is prodigiously talented and lives naturally in multiple musical worlds\, distilling countless influences into a singular voice. “That‟s what makes this band unique\,” says Glasper. “We can go anywhere\, literally anywhere\, we want to go. We all have musical ADD and we love it.” \n \n 2010 GRAMMY (Best Urban/Alternative Performance) nominee Robert Glasper continues to make waves throughout the music world as leader of the electric\, hip-hop-influenced Robert Glasper Experiment. Glasper “shows why cats from Mos Def to Roy Hargrove have sought him out-proving that subtlety and soul are natural allies” (VIBE). His latest Blue Note Records release\, Double-Booked (2009)\, displays this enviable versatility front and center.\n \n Glasper has worked extensively with Q-Tip\, playing on the rapper'\;s Grammy nominated 2008 album The Renaissance and co-writing the album'\;s single “Life Is Better” which features Norah Jones. Glasper also serves as the Music Director in rapper Mos Def'\;s touring band\, and tours with the multi-platinum R&\;B singer Maxwell.\n \n When not busy with his own band or as a producer\, he has also performed or collaborated with The Roots\, Talib Kweli\, Common\, J Dilla\, Erykah Badu\, Kanye West\, Ledisi\, Phonte (Little Brother)\, Stokley (Mint Condition)\, Jay-Z\, Beyonce\, and Stevie Wonder.\n \n Black Radio is released on February 28\, and Robert Glasper appears at The Kessler Theater on March 2.\n \n Special guest Vagabond Swing are making their second appearance at The Kessler. \n \n Tickets available at www.prekindle.com/Kessler\n When: Friday\, March 2\, 2012 from 7:00 PM to 11:30 PM\n Where: The Kessler\n Attendees: 1 http://plancast.com/p/9ua7 URL:http://plancast.com/p/9ua7 LOCATION:The Kessler DTSTAMP:20120213T080928Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
