Canvas

A stunning piano trio album that established Robert Glasper as a major new voice in jazz. 'Canvas' is a masterpiece of modern post-bop, showcasing Glasper's incredible facility, his sophisticated harmonic language (deeply influenced by Radiohead and Herbie Hancock), and his gift for memorable, lyrical compositions. The album is a pivotal document, capturing Glasper's brilliant acoustic trio work just before he would revolutionize the jazz world by fully embracing the sounds of hip-hop and R&B with his Experiment band.
