Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rising pianist Robert Glasper firmly established his modern jazz voice with his sophomore Blue Note release, 'In My Element'. Anchored by a remarkably telepathic acoustic trio, the session expertly weaves hip-hop-inspired polyrhythms and alternative rock interpolations into a highly intricate post-bop framework.
