I’m not very familiar with Ledesi, mainly went to see Robert Glasper Experiment. She started out with a Beyonce-like bang with background dancers and all. Not what I expected but definitely entertaining. I can only imagine the record label pressures for her to cash in on this style of music. Throughout the course of the set I quickly realized that she has an amazing voice with amazing control, but she is also very humerous, a great performer, and full of old school soul.

Song 4 is missing because my batteries died, a shame since it was an old school soul number, probably from one of her older albums. I also stopped recording in the middle of Pieces of Me to conserve batteries, since I suspected Glasper would be coming out later and I didn’t want to miss that (his Rhodes was set up on stage and left empty during all of Ledesi‘s set). Glasper did come out for 15 minutes near the end, performing their collab, Gonna Be Alright (which is actually a rework of Glasper‘s composition FTB). Glasper stayed for the next song and an outro jam with the band.

The Robert Glasper Experiment & Bilal @ Chicago’s Double Door – March 10, 2012

Last weekend I had the pleasure of finally witnessing The Robert Glasper Experiment do their thing. Although drummer Chris “Daddy” Dave wasn’t on this tour, replacement Mark Colenburg more than held his own. (As I knew he would after I saw him play with The Robert Glasper Trio last month in St. Louis. Don’t miss my audio recording of that here.)

On this chilly Chicago night, special guest Bilal joined the Experiment for 3 tunes: the David Bowie cover, Letter To Hermione, the J Dilla produced Reminisce, and his seminal piece, All Matter. On top of that, the Experiment played for well over 2 hours without a break. One of the highlights for me was Glasper repeatedly teasing Radiohead‘s Everything In Its Right Place during this 6 minute piano solo, which led into All Matter. I ended up shooting 48 minutes of footage using my video camera, external microphone and monopod. Check it out below:
