I once wrote a cover story for a magazine while listening to this and only this, repeated over and over. Best part is, I later got to interview Glasper and express my thanks. He is a singular talent.
Thank you Jamil, and if I may borrow your inspiration, I will listen to this while writing as well! Beautiful, soulful and inspiring indeed. I can only imagine your interview with Robert Glasper was wonderful.
I’ve played this “joint” at least 30 times since the first time I heard it. Dinner Party as a concept is truly “insane”. Terrace Martin, who I’ve loved since “Beige”, Kamasi since “Street Fighter Mas” and, well, Glasper 👌🏾 who I recently saw in Johannesburg, South Africa. I like how they don’t try and dominate each other but instead let the colab play itself out in such a pleasing manner.
I just recently discovered Robert Glasper and have already introduced him to my friend who has an for this kind of music.A star is born is what he said in reply.happy listening in South Africa.
FACTS. a blessing. Discovered him in 2015 and wasnt feeling it...was too occupied. then i listened again...played him non stop for 2 years straight did not leave my playlist...smh So many good memories from Black Radio 1 and 2 and remix. Now on his new stuff and his straight Jazz/ Awww wow. Hooked
one of my all time favs, covered by Glasper as only Glasper can.... Wooooohhhhwwwwwweeee. I am touched and transported by the language that is uniquely music....
I identify with this song. It’s hopeful with a cathartic melancholy feel . Like thinking about the best of past relationships without thinking about the reason why the relationship is over.
Well, you know Robert is a groove master who knows how to weave a mood and this piece is sweet in the way the drummer is playing the melody via the mallets!!! The bass is so spot ON!!!
It's not racist to understand history, and the magic our ppl bring. When for most of the time whites regurgitate that Ole "blacks contributed nothing to modernized America. Truth is without my ancestors you don't have a culture... so enjoy the music and teach your children.
This is Amazing!! One thing I love about Robert Glasper is his unique ability to interpret a song. He just paints an entire different side to a song. Wow.
Yes the engineers did great and obviously the musicians are all excellent, but I would say the room also helped. Appears to be recorded in the large room at Capitol. I was there back in the late 70's. The room is amazing.
I love the precussions player. He plays the precussions very well in every set. R.Glasper your pianist skills are boss. Kudos to the trio. I love the sound you guys collectively bring to life.
Tell me whatcha say now? Tell me whatcha say Come again? If you cannot stay down Then you do not have to pretend Like there is no way out I shoulda never let you in 'Cause you got me face down And don't take this personal But you're the worst You know what you've done to me And although it hurts I know I just can't keep runnin' away I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you But I want you I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to But I love you Tell me whatcha say now Tell me whatcha say?

This man is genius. I'm no musician, but I love good music. Hearing him play is like tasting a different kind of food that give your taste buds an overload of happiness. I can study to this
This song is exquisite. The rhythm of the music conjures up the sense of a great voyage through different places and different times in history. It drags up the soul and then treats it to a delight that it always wanted unknowingly. Glasper, your piano notes make this piece the mastery of sound that it is. You have found a composition that is endlessly enjoyable to listen to and flourishes in its casual simplicity
You know you've heard this song before yes and then Mr Glasper starts playing and re-introduces a masterpiece to you.😭 I've been a fan for years now and time and time again, you usher me into the beauty of music. I can't thank you enough 🙏🏾. Love and light from SA 🇿🇦!
oophtie same. i heard this on the radio the other day and was amazed by it. Id love to hear her sing along with this cover. i feel like she'd really like this.
Michael Pichon I agree..... I kept looking at the thumbs down number with my crazy face..... something is wrong with those people’s ears.... this is pure brilliance right here.
Omg. Robert is Wonderful!!!!!The best Birthday gift to my self was seeing him play in person in my New York City. Amazing Man!!!! May god bless him to bring us wonder music 🎶
This is nice and smooth. His skills on the piano are ridiculous! Man, as a newby to the piano, in my 30's, I have a greater appreciation for the sound and the amount of skill and coordination it takes to play it. Effectively incorporating the pedals into the mix makes all the more difficult. and those who can sing beautifully and play well add an entirely different element to playing.You have to have patience while learning how to play. If you desire to play the piano later on in life, my advice is to take your time and really grasp the theory behind playing piano. The greater the theoretical foundation, the better off you will be. It is very challenging/frustrating. The ability to read and play at the same time, especially in a fast tempo (vivace) and presto(really, really fast!) is hard. But once you get it, piano is very calming and relaxing and helps clear your head in times when you need quiet time by yourself.
+myles7771 I played the piano when I was 8-13 and regret not sticking to it. I'm almost 30 now and I do remember how to read music but everything else......feels gone.
Been playing piano for many years and it makes me really happy to read about how much you're enjoying the process, I hope your practice has been good to you, all the best x
Being following Robert Glasper and his associates for the last few weeks after he has being played on Radio 6 Music. Truly amazing, listening right now and will probably be still listening for the next hour or two. RG you are a true legend of your time.
I often listen to this song, is marvelous, ever time i discover something new, this time i am amazed with the drums it completes the melody in a incredible way!
The powers that control the music industry don't want people taking in a positive wavelength, positive energy, and positive vibrations. They are trying to tell us what to listen to. That being songs with b_tches and n-words in the lyrics. Get wise people!!! .... and be comfortable listening to what your soul is feeling, not what society is saying is hip or popular. Forgot to mention GREAT SONG!!!!!
Amazing Mr. Glasper your Piano skillz is unreal. And the guy on the drum and percussions, wow bro. The percussions were on point also. That bass was in perfect tune with the piano and percussions. Great Trio
So glad to find this here! My CD case of this recording is in my car, but (of course) the CD itself is missing! Haven't heard this (some of my fav music) in over a year.
I once wrote a cover story for a magazine while listening to this and only this, repeated over and over. Best part is, I later got to interview Glasper and express my thanks. He is a singular talent.
Thank you Jamil, and if I may borrow your inspiration, I will listen to this while writing as well! Beautiful, soulful and inspiring indeed. I can only imagine your interview with Robert Glasper was wonderful.
The piano playing is absolutely breathtaking. Pure elegance in every note!
The Worst is arranged beautifully.
This is how FREEDOM sounds when I'm living it!
Wow!
Amazing thought!
Yesssss
You couldn’t have said any better
Yesssssir freedom i just lay back and smile and sip and try to hear every piece that plays blessings to the ear heart mind body and soul
Tsh….freedom is not being a slave to your desires…on that note, you were saying

This brother is phenomenal! I saw the movie “The Photograph” and was mesmerized by the soundtrack and bought it on the way home!
Same here... The movie soundtrack was awesome!
The man plays incredible!!! His touch on the keys is divine. Not a showboater, but plays soooooo deep!
ouyi!!je l'adore!!
Not a show boat is the best part. Ran into several musicians who claimed they toured with him. Dunno, but all have said he's a cool/nice dude.
Wow good staff 👍 indeed I discovered him just now on you tube & he just frees my mind...
Saw him live! Maybe not a showboater but definitely a showman 😉
@@marnixweiler5759 definitely can be a showboater when he wants to, the man can shred the piano as well
This is what music should be,the kind you just don't hear but feel as well!👍🏿
Exactly 💯
Super Fact.
This rendition is absolutely beautiful. So melodious 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I just recently discovered Robert Glasper and have already introduced him to my friend who has an for this kind of music.A star is born is what he said in reply.happy listening in South Africa.
Robert's music taught me to love again, a long time ago.
I discovered Robert Glasper 2 years ago on Pandora while driving for Uber and Lyft....what a blessing to hear greatness of music.
Me too...
Nice, discovered him just now on UA-cam, really enjoying the music, talented musicians.
FACTS. a blessing. Discovered him in 2015 and wasnt feeling it...was too occupied. then i listened again...played him non stop for 2 years straight did not leave my playlist...smh So many good memories from Black Radio 1 and 2 and remix. Now on his new stuff and his straight Jazz/ Awww wow. Hooked
oui!!!
Thank you @Tracy Wright for all the good work you folks do taking folks from A to B! Have a blessed Christmas.
I like this more than the original song. It sounds like a great jazz piece on its own.
His music is a medicine its healing and so relaxing above all amazing
Yes It Is Music To Your Soul Makes Your Spirit Fly High Makes Me Mesmerized
Hi fan. Thanks for the positive comment. Just having a random check but less I forget you are gorgeous.
I would love to see him perform this with Jene Aiko.😌That would be a wonderful collaboration.
This is one of those songs that you wish just wouldn't end... #heaven
until then, I'll just keep hitting repeat.... #sigh
Ikr..
Exactly
For those of you that require the best in life appreciate this amazing piece
It's hard to stop listening to RG.
I can't..... 3 am and still not enough...
Right!
Why would you want to!😊

The instrumentation is SO nice here
Robert Glasper is so talented and his music is a work of art. I can always appreciate real music.
Wow. Iam Dutch. But Let me tell U one thing America. Black people are the best in culture. In theatre music and sports. International treasures 😎
What a lefty remark making this a "racist" thing now....
Truth hurts
It's not racist to understand history, and the magic our ppl bring. When for most of the time whites regurgitate that Ole "blacks contributed nothing to modernized America. Truth is without my ancestors you don't have a culture... so enjoy the music and teach your children.
Black people is an entire race, man. You are talking big numbers of ppl.
Stop being tribalist
This is Amazing!! One thing I love about Robert Glasper is his unique ability to interpret a song. He just paints an entire different side to a song.
Wow.
i didn't use earphone the first time i heard it, but it already sounded beautiful then i use earphone now and... wow, this is pure gold.

@Jonathan MOORice... the guy (Fyador) has now deleted his comment... he was swearing about speakers or music quality...was unnecessary lol
@@OS-yg9fr and you like robert glasper ??
What a recording! Sound engineers, i salute you!
The double bass came in like a whole universe
Yes the engineers did great and obviously the musicians are all excellent, but I would say the room also helped. Appears to be recorded in the large room at Capitol. I was there back in the late 70's. The room is amazing.
Meh, I find it a bit of dark recording with a high emphasis on the low end. It misses openness and sparkle.
@@rdolle990 Meh
Amen, everything sounds so crisp, clear, and vibrant
You can close your eyes and this speaks to whatever mood you're in...
I love the precussions player. He plays the precussions very well in every set. R.Glasper your pianist skills are boss. Kudos to the trio. I love the sound you guys collectively bring to life.
The way I’m addicted to his music is crazy! I’m not even sure how I came across him, but haven’t stopped listening since❤️❤️❤️
Jazz at it's absolute finest....... take me away!
When amazing souls play off each other, Magic Happens.🔥❤️🔥
John Coltrane's Old Label "Blue Note" Mr. Glasper you represent with the same sprit! I truly enjoy listening to your music!
+David Mason I think you mean IMPULSE!
And I thought Jhene’s version was tops …. Your version gives me CHILLS… so beautiful.
My favorite musician , I love Robert , arrangement is sweet and on point ... Keep going man the world needs you
The arrangement at the end is superb .. he has a legends touch
In a world of tasteless and vulgar releases there are still pieces of true music like this that can really touch your soul. God bless
This song clears all my chakras FACT
he excels in these dreamy pieces.....beautiful arrangement
Hes playing on another level, in a higher dimension. Making love from the heavens with his music. Kudos maestro
This song makes my soul smile and brings tears to my eyes....
WOW, I cant get enough of this. So much style in his playing and the group is so tight. It sounds like one person playing one instrument.
True innovator & prophet for the next generation.
Tell me whatcha say now?
Tell me whatcha say
Come again?
If you cannot stay down
Then you do not have to pretend
Like there is no way out
I shoulda never let you in
'Cause you got me face down
And don't take this personal
But you're the worst
You know what you've done to me
And although it hurts I know
I just can't keep runnin' away
I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you
But I want you
I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to
But I love you
Tell me whatcha say now
Tell me whatcha say?
You said that you would come again
You said that we would remain friends but
You know that I do not depend on
Nothing or no one
So why would you show up
So uninvited then
Just change my mind like that
Please don't take this personal
But you ain't shit
And you weren't special
Til I made you so
You better act like you know
That I been through worse than you
I just can't keep runnin' away
I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you
But I want you (But I want you)
I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to
But I love you
Everybody's like
He's no item
Please don't like em
He don't wife em
He one nights em
I never listen, no
I shoulda figured tho
All that shit you was spittin'
So unoriginal
But it was you
So I was with it
And tell you the truth
Wish we never did it
'Cause I usually do
Stick to the business
But you came out the blue
And then you just flipped it
God damn baby
My mind's blown
I be forgettin'
You live in a different time zone
I think I know what this is
It's just the time's wrong
Yeah, I know what you did
But baby I'm grown
And my love is patient
And kind, and shit
If this is real we can build
And do different types of shit
If you was really the realest
Wouldn't be fightin' it
I think your pride is just
In the way
Funny how everything changed
Once you got all that you wanted
Nothing was ever the same
I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you
I still want you
I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to
But I, but I love you
I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you
But I want you
I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to
But I love you
Thank you!
I can't describe how much I love this. The whole live album is a beauty.

One of my most favorite jazz musicians. His creativity is phenomenal!
I own all of his albums. That's how much I like his music. This one though is probably my favorite. This is an awesome Trio.

They probably have too big fingers and messed it up ahahaaa
@Imann music : are u serious? 😒😒😒 This ain’t even African rhythms
I wish I could like this song more! Robert Glasper is keeping jazz going and I love it.
This is art and greatness in its purest form!!! Especially if you know the song. He took a Jhene' Aiko song and turned into a jazz record.🔥🔥🔥
I'm completely speechless
Omg. Robert is Wonderful!!!!!The best Birthday gift to my self was seeing him play in person in my New York City. Amazing Man!!!! May god bless him to bring us wonder music 🎶
