- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- Jazz pianist Robert Glasper plays an original composition "Enoch's Meditation," with narrative from Martin Luther King's 1966 "We Shall Overcome" speech, Barack Obama's presidential election night victory speech from Grant Park in Chicago, audio from Dr. Cornel West, and a spontaneous piano reharmonization of the presidential anthem, "Hail to the Chief." This performance was recorded January 14th at WBGO Studios in Newark, New Jersey. Produced by Josh Jackson. Mix by Josh Webb, with assistance from David Tallacksen. Happy Inauguration 2009, from the jazz community!
The reason why I love jazz music.. No matter how short each piece is... You go on a journey throught the music and get lost in it.. a 5 min track sometimes feels more like 10 mins because your lost in the music.. Jazz music is one of a kind.
Simply divine. Mr. Glasper's music is just poetry in all forms. Genius melodies.
This song never, ever fades...simply amazing.
It never ever ends.
This song has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it years ago. I can't wait to see Mr..Glasper in concert one day.
I SOOO wish I could download this video on my iPod. INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL! Can't explain the joy it brings to my spirit. Thanks for sharing.
This video introduced me to J-Dilla, and trust me, my life is so good now, Rest In Peace James.
Man, I had to come back to this after this crazy election...
Something that bring peace to mind in a world of heartache and stress,Yet gives us the motivation to keep pressing forward in spite of, a breif pause in life,getting a 2nd wind for a race we can't give up, the race is not to the swift but to those who endure to the end.
Lord we thank you...you have protected us and guided us.you have been our strength,our way out of no way,our confidant,our jehova jira,our jehovah nese,...our breath of fresh air. this is so emotional,im not a poet but it makes think of his grace and his mercy.For he paid in the form of blood shed,just tap into what he has already given you. God you are so awesom. Thanks Robert. God bless u bro. 1
Thanks Robert. I am taken back to a time when life was simple. Listening to this music enhances the peace deep within and summons the calmness all around me but just beyond my reach.
man it's amazing when da glasper trio plays in time with the speeches. MLK swings pretty hard.
This is just beautiful
So beautiful song!
My favorite piano jazz
I just come back from a live of robert glasper experiment in paris. It was good as fuck, rob g. and Chris dada just kill this. and Thanks for the J Dilla Tribute at the end. RIP J DILLA.
like this version way more than the album version !!!! more smooth, more feeling !!! simply great !!!
ahh man this is real music...music that takes you far
There is songs that you listen to, like, and forget about after some time. And there is songs like this. Songs that sound like there is no other way to arrange the notes on a piece of paper. Songs that sound like they have ever been there, and will ever be. To me, this is one of these songs. Damn Robert Glasper makes me spiritual!
Im happy That Robert is here with us. We are truly blessed.
Sensual, evocative, filled with the quiet longing of souls seeking justice, the impressionistic chords reminiscent of Shirley Horn, Bill Evans, the quiet side of Oscar Peterson, all blending together in a sound signifying a new confidence & a readiness to take one's place at the table of brotherhood.
i wish they played music for me, when i walk everywhere. like the sound track to my life. so beautiful. i would be happy to die if this was the last piece of art that i heard
+Moabi Tsolo me too :-)
The smoothness, my heart. Thank you, sir!
No matter what race you are, what country you come from- this piece is inspiring.
I love WBGO (Jersey strong)... and been listening to a lot of Robert Glasper lately. Good stuff.
Everytime im on an airplane looking out the window . this song is like prayer/ meditation. It reminds me that God Is Alive
It's amazing that Dr. King's speech is so musical. Glasper accompanies his inflections so well.
This song is so deep... I love it!
I could watch this all day
Brilliant. A true sound of peace and purity.
Even some 4 years later the video is still in Myrna just as fresh as I heard it the first time. This is a very clean piece. It'll be hard to forget combined with the various speeches sprinkled in. God stuff!
I keep coming back to this over and over. Those opening changes nail me every time.
somewhere between crying, and shouting hallejulah. A song couldnt better evoke emtional expression. I feel close to God in music like this.
great style!! Robert Glasper is a big influence for many young jazz pianists I know.
great stuff, always a pleasure to listen to robert glasper, i loves it i do.
An embrace from colombia to this music is sublime and a patriot
Reminds me Of the Esbjorn Svensson Trio (RIP). Absolutely superb!
Truly incredible.. it almost makes me wanna cry...
yeah.... meditation on the highest level!
Love the Moods of each movement..

Amazing. well stated. a well produced and thoughtful piece. A wonderful tribute to a special day.
This has got to be one of the most SOUL piece I have heard in a long time. Great Job!!!!
This makes me smile and reminds me why i love the piano so much
this gives me tears in my eyes....
Not a lot to say. I am just stuck without words. Just took my breathe away.
My favorite Glasper song…literally a life saving song for me
A beautiful composition. Thanks for posting this piece. I have become an instant fan of Glasper's music.
This song is life.. wish it was longerrrrr
Wow. My mind is blown away. Did he just reharmonize 'Hail to the Chief' at the end? Man, this dude is beyond words.
Sublime...RG, thanks for the inspiration.
So many people were looking forward to an age of hope and change back in Jan 2009. So many people supported President Obama; and it's absolutely sad that most of those people are nowhere to be found when he needs our support the most. Come on people. Nov 2012! Let's do something! Let's support our President!
Love this track!
Astonishing and beautifully done - thanks so much for sharing!
Live for others and you will live again
I esteem Robert Glasper right up there with Bill Evans, Lyle Mays, Keith Jarret, Joe Sample. Truly an extraordinary musician.
You are amazing, what a beautifull melody.

"WE ARE JAZZ "
I need that on my T shirt.
At one point - David in the Bible had stated that in the tradition of Enoch who comes to warn, chastise and illumine, David shared with us that the chant “[is] a formula from Enoch to dispel darkness.” And we can “play [it] any time in order to simply meditate on the sound and see yourself fully in light, untouched, unscathed by any form of opposition, darkness of any kind.”
Beautiful, looking forward to Black Radio 2
Young, gifted, and black!
