Robert Glasper X Marsha Ambrosius

  • Robert Glasper

    Robert Glasper

    Soul Jazz

    Robert Glasper is the leader of a new sonic paradigm with a career that bridges musical and artistic genres. To date, he boasts 5 Grammy wins and 12 nominations across 11 categories, an Emmy Award for his song for Ava Duvernay’s critically hailed documentary “13th” with Common and Karriem Riggins, and a Peabody Award for his Composition of “Mr. Soul!”. His work and accolades bridge all aspects of the music business, from live touring to film scoring, composing and producing.

    Evolution is his hallmark. Glasper’s breakout crossover album Black Radio changed the face of the genre and set a new expectation for what popular music could be. The album won him the Grammy for best R&B album and established him as the musician of choice for some of the world’s most iconic artists; notably playing keys throughout Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly, winning another Grammy for the elastic track “These Walls”. The ongoing Black Radio series has since become Glasper’s calling card, upholding a place at the heart of a trailblazing community: from long-time sonic brothers Mos Def and Bilal, to legends including Ledisi, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Jill Scott, and Erykah Badu.

    Glasper’s eternal pursuit to further his sound has been consistent in challenging and transforming his creative horizons across the board. Whether producing a remix album with Kaytranda or as a bandleader, Robert consistently defies the limits of the genre. This is evident in a portfolio that ranges from his acoustic jazz trio; which simultaneously defies and elevates the traditional idiom by uniting it effortlessly with electronics from visionary DJ Jahi Sundance, to August Greene; a collaboration with Common + Karriem Riggins, to R+R=Now; a supergroup at the crossroads of hip-hop and Jazz.

    In the last year alone, Glasper has seen a staggering diversity of success. He released Black Radio III and Black Radio III Supreme Edition on Loma Vista Records; with features ranging from Jennifer Hudson, Killer Mike, and the late Mac Miller. On screen he created the original score for Run The World Season 2 and The Best Man television series. In July 2022 he was the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of the first Blue Note Napa Valley Jazz Festival, which brought to the stage a plethora of iconic artists; from Chaka Khan to Maxwell and Glasper’s Dinner Party project featuring Snoop Dogg. October 2022 sees him back in New York for his now-legendary month-long residency at the Blue Note NYC, with the usual array of star-studded appearances from the likes of Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Questlove, Alex Isley and Miguel joining him both on and off stage.

    With boundless innovation and elite technique as his signature it’s no surprise that Glasper has an avalanche of accolades, awards, and achievements to his name - most recently being asked to play at the 2020 March On Washington with Derrick Hodge and funk legend, Sir George Clinton. In August of 2020, Robert released ‘Better Than Imagined’ which won the Grammy for Best R&B song in 2021; the first taste of his Black Radio 3 album. Featuring H.E.R and Meshell Ndegeocello, the song advocates for Black love and the power, and responsibility, we have to improve our world; again demonstrating that, above all, Glasper is an artist at the heart of a moment - and a movement - to champion Black music, Black people, and the possibility of a better future.. The hip-hop-head-nod ballad is a dedication to just that: the beauty and brilliance of a heritage that is as much Kendrick as it is Coltrane, and which seeks to empower and uplift with every offering. Glasper later went on to win the Grammy for Best R&B Album for Black Radio 3 in 2023

    In his own words:

    “Black lives matter and so does black love; no one wants a life without love, but we have generations of people in our community who haven’t had the tools to actually be in healthy relationships. It seems like people are finally ready to open their eyes to systemic racism in this country, and if we’re going to talk about it, we have to also talk about how it affects our relationships — how we communicate, how we see ourselves, how we treat each other. It’s not always good, even though maybe it could be.” - Robert Glasper

    In the last two years alone Glasper has seen a staggering diversity of success. He dropped Fuck Yo Feelings; a star-studded mixtape; his first on Loma Vista Records; with features ranging from YBN Cordae to Herbie Hancock to Yebba. The album was nominated for the Grammy for Best Progressive R&B album in the recent 2021 awards. He created an original score for the Emmy Nominated doc The Apollo and the feature film The Photograph starring Issa Rae. He led a legendary residency at the Blue Note NYC with 56 sold-out shows in 27 days which saw everyone from Dave Chappelle to Tiffany Haddish, Chadwick Boseman, Q-Tip, Anderson.Paak and Angela Davis join him on and off stage. And, alongside long-time collaborator, co-producer, and creative partner Terrace Martin, he formed another dream team supergroup featuring Kamasi Washington and 9th Wonder called Dinner Party, who together wrote and recorded a debut self titled album that was released to rave reviews.

  • Marsha Ambrosius

    Marsha Ambrosius

    R&B

    There’s an emotionality that only Marsha Ambrosius can conjure. Since emerging as The Songstress in the duo Floetry, the Britain-born singer and songwriter has combined her lush, golden-toned vocals with a boundless gift for soulful vignettes that exist at the intersection of deep love and serious heartache —gripping songs as vulnerable as they are powerful. That giftoften shines through others’ works: Michael Jackson’s “Butterflies”; a multitude of hip-hop hooks for Nas, Busta Rhymes, Nipsey Hussle, and more; or Drake’s sampling her unforgettable vocal from her earlier work “Getting Late” for his track “Flight’s Booked” from his platinum-selling Honestly, Nevermindalbum. It is, undoubtedly, Ambrosius’ time to shine in her own right.

    Ambrosius now cements her legacy with CASABLANCO, her long-awaited new album executiveproduced by the legendary Dr. Dre. Inspired by one another, the duo set out to create a jazz album —but instead they made a genre-bending tour de force. A fusion of technical mastery and unbridled imagination, it’s a mesmerizing portrait of two legends at work.

    To help sculpt the smoldering album, Ambrosius and Dr. Dre enlisted a superteam of creators — Focus, Erik “Blu2th” Griggs, Dem Jointz, Trev and Sly. Across studio sessions that began in 2021, the duo and their collaborators hit a creative apex, driving the sonics of what would soon become an exhilarating album. Listeners got to preview that work via a pair of fascinating tracks.Arriving in 2023, “The Greatest” came laced with an opulent soundscape and yearning lyrics, a modern exploration of retro R&B as grand as it is mesmerizing. A year later, we received the sprawling and sensual “One Night Stand,” showcasing Ambrosius’ honey-dipped vocals as she painted a vivid picture of no-strings-attached romance. On a broader scale, these major sonic leaps are just the latest steps in a journey that Ambrosius began long ago.

    With her first solo album,Late Nights & Early Mornings (2011), Ambrosius revealed a more sensual version of herself. The standout single “Far Away” went on to be nominated for two Grammy awards and has sold over a million records. Friends & Lovers (2014), the sexier sophomore project, gave us “So Good” and “69.” “OMG I Miss You” was a personal favorite of Prince’s, and Questlove famously referred to the album as “the one that got away.”

    Ambrosius met the love of her life while on tour in 2015 which led to 2018’s deeply personal NYLA, named after her daughter. From that set, “Luh Ya” amassed millions of streams, and the video for “Old Times” illustrated the inextricable link between the sociopolitical and the personal, a fitting representation of how Ambrosius’ music weaves through the culture, and vice versa.

    Throughout that time and since, Ambrosius stayed busy —successfully touring, while writing and producing songs with titans including Alicia Keys, Earth Wind & Fire, and, of course, Dr. Dre. Over the past few years, her artistic relationship with Dr. Dre has blossomed into this thrilling chapter of her career. At the end of 2020, the pair began having conversations about a Grand Theft Autoproject he was tasked with creatingexclusive songs for. A few weeks after they’d begun trading ideas back and forth, Dr. Dre suffered a brain aneurysm. Once he was in rehabilitation, he called on Ambrosius to come to Los Angeles and pick up where they left off.

    “We bonded through his rehabilitation and his want and need to create good music,” she recalls.

    But it didn’t stop there. As the duo continued their collaboration, moving into the material that would form the foundation of CASABLANCO, Ambrosius stripped herself bare. She found herself carving out new territory for herself as a creative force. And now, on the other side, she feels this album shows her growth not only as a singer and songwriter, but as a mother and partner. Ambrosius embraced her many facets and traumas to create CASABLANCO, a deeply fulfilling and nostalgia-inducing instant classic sure to give fans relief and reason to celebrate all at once.

    “Dr. Dre dared me to dream bigger and aim higher,” says Ambrosius. “CASABLANCOtook on a life of its own once we grasped the concept. The ideas just kept coming, and everyone was on the same page at the same time. It was like a musical insane asylum we had all checked in to and we understood why we were there: to make something we had never done before, together.
