Robert Glasper Announces Halloween Show With Common And Musiq Soulchild
The show is scheduled for Sony Hall on October 31.
Blue Note has announced that Robert Glasper will be performing a special Halloween show at Sony Hall on October 31 as part of the much anticipated forthcoming Robtober. The show will feature special guests Common and Musiq Soulchild.
The beloved 5th annual Robtober residency is about to kick off at the legendary Blue Note Jazz Club coming up on October 4 and will see performances through November 5, with special guests Yebba, Norah Jones, Kamasi Washington, Terrace Martin, Amber Navran of Moonchild, D Smoke, yasiin bey featuring Chris Dave, Derrick Hodge, and DJ Jahi Sundance.
Of Glasper’s longstanding relationship with the Blue Note, Blue Note Entertainment Group president Steven Bensusan notes, “We’ve seen Robert grow from performing on our stage as a sideman to becoming a band leader, musical director, producer, curator, and Grammy award winner in the Jazz, Urban Contemporary & R&B categories. His musical diversity and range is extraordinary. This month-long residency allows us to support his creativity, allow him to revisit old projects as well as to experiment with new collaborations.”
The concept behind and success of “Robtober” ultimately inspired and created the Blue Note Jazz Festival in Napa, California. This year’s second annual festival brought together massive households names including Mary J. Blige, Nas, Chance the Rapper, Dave Chappelle, Talib Kweli & Madlib and a host of others, while the inaugural festival saw Snoop Dogg, Chaka Kahn, yasiin bey & Talib Kweli (Black Star), and more.
Glasper adds, “The Festival in Napa is a perfect example of how much the residency has grown, and what the residency has built. This has been an amazing run! Can’t wait to see what year 5 has in store!!!”
The Blue Note Jazz Club has a host of exciting upcoming shows, including The Soul Rebels being joined by a host of special guests including Rakim & Big Daddy Kane, Ja Rule, G-Eazy and more.
