Description
A work by pianist/producer Robert Glasper, who has led the fusion of jazz and hip-hop with the Grammy-winning album “Black Radio,” deconstructing and reconstructing his own music and jazz elements using hip-hop beat-making techniques.
Robert Glasper has established an innovative sound that spans modern jazz, hip-hop, and R&B, earning a Grammy Award for “Black Radio.” Released on Loma Vista, “Code Derivation” distills the sampling culture and improvisation that lie at the core of jazz and hip-hop.
Deconstructing his own music and jazz phrases, Glasper collaborated with hip-hop producers to reconstruct them into beats. The album features a collection of tracks where the texture of live jazz intersects with the groove of sampled beats, vividly transcending genre boundaries.
