Description
On August 25, 2009 Robert Glasper released his 4th studio album, Double Booked, a double disc album featuring his acoustic trio (Glasper – Piano, Vicente Archer – Upright Bass, and Chris Dave – Drums), and his electric band, The Experiment (Glasper – Keyboards, Derrick Hodge – Electric Bass, Casey Benjamin – Alto Saxophone and Vocoder, Chris Dave – Drums).
On the album’s cover, Glasper is standing outside of a taxi cab in New York City, holding his phone to his ear, with a look of concern on his face. That look on Glasper’s face is because, as it is explained on the album, he’s caught between gigs — a time of great stress for any musician.
To this point in his career, Glasper was known for his work with his trio, and as a supporting musician for a number of other artists, most of which were straight ahead, acoustic jazz acts. But, Double Booked marked something different for Glasper, a departure of sorts from what many believed to be his sound.
Listening to Glasper in interviews, and his prior work, he’s never shied away from the talking about the music that raised him, the love and appreciation he has for Thelonious Monk as much as J. Dilla. His last album, In My Element proved as much. More, Double Booked is an artist at a bridge of possibility, and a gateway to a new world of sound.
