Marsha's low register is warm heartfelt soul, with a nice rasp. Her higher register is like rain drops gently falling, while a golden sun is still out shining, and there's a rainbow on the horizon. Beautiful.
draining planet. lol. There is much of everything on this planet. Whats pivotal is how we carry ourselves and what we choose to embody through it all. Blessings. Yeah hes a genuine musical genius. peace..
Look into the planet being a plain, an enclosed system created and perfect. Do not let the fear mongers of this world affect you. Turn your head away and lift your eyes to the heavens
Hodge is sublime on bass, so present, he can by lyrical, rhythmic, and he brings his own sense of harmony which gives the performance another dimension
Does anybody notice the slight humming of Glasper when he's playing . You'll hear it with your headphones . But he's singing and adding harmony's with the keys from time to time.
Who else but a jazz artist can so confidently pull off a spontaneous improvisation? Jazz is the best music eva!!!!!! The perfect blend of intellectualism and soul.
Awe man!...Glad for you!...I have been a fan of Glasper since his beginning and have ALL his albums! Love the feeling of finding something wonderful such as the musical talents of musicians like Glasper!...Dive into his older music also, you won't regret it!
I dont think there is such thing as best music, bcause music is art and there is no art better than other, but i respect your opinion, just remember art is a way to express how you feel
@Electrono9 theres a big difference in musicianship thats hard to see if two bands just played the same song they already know but you get found out when just trying to react to everything thats going on with your own theory knowledge and mastery of your instrument
Superlatives cannot express how sublime this music is.. It feeds us, and so nourishes hungry souls. And it's spiritually inspiring. Heavenly colouratura to these Vocals..so very deeply satisfying. Takes me way beyond this world, mentally.
I just recently started listening to Jazz. Imma start with recent music and go back!!! I love his fusion of this music. Sends me high. Peace & Blessings
Wooow just wooow! The part with Marsha singing was the most beautiful to me she looked, sounded and gestured so beautifully. Her voice sounds so passionate than soft again with the amazing bass player, drummer and of course the Genius RG!
Back here again... there's something celestial, a tiny touch of heaven, something defenetely "above" here in what Rob Glasper and friends around give, life's pouring fresh water and feelings, it is always moving, sleek, beautiful, unique ;-). I LOVE THEM and I'm happy to say so. Thanks +++ Tiny Desk, don't change anything. Love from France to all.
Thank you Mr Glasper et Al for the Ronnie Scotts concdrt and Marsha for the Jazz Cafe Camden concert. I hope you all continue to thrive. JAh's blessing x Purplelinacoffeeangel LLB MA
Coolest thing ever! True musicians right here! Let's just make something up and see where it takes us??? Mad respect! Thank you for blessing our hearts and minds with your music!
This is the moment I realize that I’ve been missing something really, really, reeeaaalllyyyyy smooth ‘n nice funky jazzy music. Better late than never.
l am a total fan of Robert Glasper and the way he views music. Some people think that he is jazz, whatever that is. l think Robert and band mates have the same view on expression of music. l really don't labels. Though people seem to need them for some kind personal identity. l just identify it's great MUSIC !
I mean I get where you're going at! I don't mind a label for the sake of putting new listeners on to different stuff. I mean he IS jazz at heart, just listen to those piano phrasings lol. but the beautiful thing is he and the band are much more than ONE thing! that's what I love. I don't really mind labels as long they aren't used in a way that pigeon holes the artists. lol
As black guitarist more than 40 years, l had had people many times ask me what kind of music do l play. "do you play the blues" is a pretty standard question. Usually viewed in the colour of my skin. l started out playing folk guitar in a Catholic church with my friend who taught me how to play. l played folk mass in a Catholic church for two years. And during the 70s we played all kinds of music besides the Catholic folk hymns. Bob Dylan, Donavan, Pete Seeger, Joni Mitchell. And the list goes on. Later on l joined a folk rock bands with some high school friends and we use to open for a rock band fronted by another friend. our manager was a police officer. lt has only been later in life that l learned how to read music and got more into learning jazz. l get the label for people. Robert Glasper has so much said how he feels about the label of "jazz'. And now a days when jazz artist are playing Allman Brothers and Jerry Cantrell, tunes and the like. They are creating new standards of " jazz". What ever that is. There is so much music out there to hear and play. l know for the average person music is just a soundtrack of life. But for those of us who play it, lt is more than that. But you know that already. PS, l am not Catholic by the way. Just wanted to sing and play guitar.
So awesome! I listened to his 1st album "Mood" while I cooked dinner amd watched this clip while I ate it lol A excellent experience for me!! I'm a huge fan!
I personally don’t think saying that is an overstatement or that it devalues Monk or Trane’s work at all. They were the legends of their time, RG a legend of our time. Music evolves.
Love this man Robert Glasper is and has been one of my favourite musicians of time always listen no matter what’s out there go back to the time less beautiful 🙏🙏🙏
I am truly amazed about the fact that the drummer got so manny different sounds out of such a small kit. Nothing but respect!
The drummer did add Tiny Desk's TIny Gong to his Tiny Kit tho.
Mark Colenburg is no joke!!!
I didn't even notice, truly dope
That’s musicianship & creativity. ❤️
Limitations breed creativity
I love how Robert Glasper always brings good vibes. Reminds everyone that music is about fun, joy and expression.
Marsha's low register is warm heartfelt soul, with a nice rasp. Her higher register is like rain drops gently falling, while a golden sun is still out shining, and there's a rainbow on the horizon. Beautiful.
Just like your words, homie. Art is truly the way of enlightening expression
Her voice is the other instrument.
Beautifully said.
One Love.
Well said
I didn't realize how damn skilled the drummer is until I came back and listened to this video again 5 times
Robert Glasper is a true musician...a gift to inspire us on this draining planet.
Dee Rich Absolutely!
amen
draining planet. lol. There is much of everything on this planet. Whats pivotal is how we carry ourselves and what we choose to embody through it all. Blessings. Yeah hes a genuine musical genius. peace..
Dee Rich LOL
Look into the planet being a plain, an enclosed system created and perfect. Do not let the fear mongers of this world affect you. Turn your head away and lift your eyes to the heavens
The drummer and bassist are so sharp and in tune with Glasper it's unreal. A joy to behold.
Careful using sharp as a descriptor for musicians
@@MangroveLord they really sound flat and down to earth.
Check out Derrick Hodge album. He is so dope.
Absolutely joyfully skilled musicians on a higher level
Robert Glasper makes the STARS align. My dude has worked with some of The Best
One of the more underrated shows even at 1.5 million. Enough people do not know about this man
Hodge is sublime on bass, so present, he can by lyrical, rhythmic, and he brings his own sense of harmony which gives the performance another dimension
Beautifully said. Everything he does seems like perfection, even to my non-musician ears
Her voice is so soothing …
Does anybody notice the slight humming of Glasper when he's playing . You'll hear it with your headphones . But he's singing and adding harmony's with the keys from time to time.
Don lol when I first noticed it, I was ticked off with my headphones. Like "What is that buzzing?!?!?" LOL that man is singing over his own tracks lol
As soon as I heard it, I checked the comments to make sure I wasn’t crazy... I’m not crazy! 😂 he’s definitely humming
Happens sometimes when you get lost in the vibe
Erroll Garner used to do that too... A little bit louder
@@niklaslachmann1038 and Tigran
Who else but a jazz artist can so confidently pull off a spontaneous improvisation?
Jazz is the best music eva!!!!!! The perfect blend of intellectualism and soul.
You nailed it. That's jazz in a nutshell
🙏🏿❤️
Jazz is everything, it's gospel, it's soul, it's hip hop, it's rhythm and blues, it's pop, there's so many places u can take jazz.
Well said❤
8:50 can we just take a minute and appreciate the drummer.
We can take several minutes.
As a matter of fact, where you been at fam? We had a drummer appreciation club a few comments up. Lol.
Jk jk.
man... derrick is putting on a masterclass on how to play bass behind a vocalist.... Jesus. his phrasing and placement is unparalleled
Robert really nailed what Tiny Desk should be... and not bc he's a npr fan but bc he's a music lover
Grown folks music. Energy, as it's presented. This was everything.
Marsha Ambrosius does it Every time!!! I can watch it over and over again!!!💓😍
Just discovered this amazing musician today. Robert Glasper.... I'm a fan...wow! Nice touch and style.
Me too man he's amazing !!
Awe man!...Glad for you!...I have been a fan of Glasper since his beginning and have ALL his albums! Love the feeling of finding something wonderful such as the musical talents of musicians like Glasper!...Dive into his older music also, you won't regret it!
You are a smart man
Wow....delicious!!! Second, third and forth time around.
Chuck You must see him live. He's amazing and very down to earth.
Marsha sounds just like the record, and Robert is genius as always.
I love when musicians can just start jamming live and just let things go and see what happens. The best music is always the most spontaneous. :)
this is pure!
I dont think there is such thing as best music, bcause music is art and there is no art better than other, but i respect your opinion, just remember art is a way to express how you feel
@Electrono9 theres a big difference in musicianship thats hard to see if two bands just played the same song they already know but you get found out when just trying to react to everything thats going on with your own theory knowledge and mastery of your instrument
You'd really dig the Grateful Dead then. They did this for their concerts for nearly 30 years.
We just can go home and open a bottle of red wine and relax. Music just reached the top with this concert. Chapeau.
Glasper is super talented. Marsha is awesome. This is REAL Music!
I love that bass line D Hodge does @10:37... Beautiful. This whole set is great but I especially love the improv.
The "NPR Tiny Desk Jam" showcases the kind of musicianship that I find inspiring. Unbelievable.
I've been a Glasper fan for years but, Mark C. Is killing! Not to mention Hodge is on another planet.
Superlatives cannot express how sublime this music is.. It feeds us, and so nourishes hungry souls. And it's spiritually inspiring. Heavenly colouratura to these Vocals..so very deeply satisfying. Takes me way beyond this world, mentally.
💯 beautifully said i can see the spiritually awakened in these comments🌷
That's such a beautiful comment. Thank you
these two can be looking away from each other but still responding to each other's facial expressions, so in sync. one of the best collabs
I just cant get enough of the drums and bass:inspired and yet never losing the pocket!
I love the fact that Robert Glasper give his musicians there shine. These brotha's are cold blooded. Great music fellas.
The first chord from Glasper hits so deep, amazing key board tone, such a distinct sense of harmony
Oh, My, God. Them piecing together that improv was just mesmerizing. The magic of the beats at work. Beautiful.
I just recently started listening to Jazz. Imma start with recent music and go back!!! I love his fusion of this music. Sends me high. Peace & Blessings
Robert Glasper is just magic!
0:34 Trust
8:53 NPR Tiny Desk Jam
17:00 F.T.B. (Gonna Be Alright)
The more I watch this, the more amazed I am by this performance. The most unreal improv
The bass opening on F.T.B is incredible
OMG. This is amazing. I just close my eyes and I can fly. Music is definitely the answer 🙏🏾
Hi fan. Thanks for the love and support and I’m so happy music is the answer and I’m proud to be among making it an answer for you
Robert and Marsha are a great collaboration. Perfect together.
I can't tell you how many times I've replayed this over the past 2 years. lol...
the first song had me close to tears that was some beautiful stuff man. Robert Glaspe one of the few groups who sound as good if not better live
F.T.B. was just so badass, I mean it's like I can just feel my soul dancing to this. Yeah, this is music for the soul.
Wooow just wooow! The part with Marsha singing was the most beautiful to me she looked, sounded and gestured so beautifully. Her voice sounds so passionate than soft again with the amazing bass player, drummer and of course the Genius RG!
Today I found this, honestly one of my favorite NPR TDs, insane talent
Back here again... there's something celestial, a tiny touch of heaven, something defenetely "above" here in what Rob Glasper and friends around give, life's pouring fresh water and feelings, it is always moving, sleek, beautiful, unique ;-). I LOVE THEM and I'm happy to say so. Thanks +++ Tiny Desk, don't change anything. Love from France to all.
This is Music for a cold winter night in Denmark....thanks !!! Now I'm sure spring will come again this year :-)
Her voice is Mesmerizing! Been a fan of hers since day one! Robert Glasper is amazing too.
Truly inspirational I’m so Happy I
found Jazz at a young age, I just wished I would’ve pick up a instrument earlier.
never too late
This is the comment.
Thank you Mr Glasper et Al for the Ronnie Scotts concdrt and Marsha for the Jazz Cafe Camden concert. I hope you all continue to thrive. JAh's blessing x Purplelinacoffeeangel LLB MA
those bass chords at the end of Trust are unbelievable, so beautiful!
The first song "Trust".....damn....that was freakin' beautiful!!! Brings a tear to my eyes....
Glasper is one of my favorites, his touch is so awesome.

Simply heartfelt. It's almost more beautiful than the original version that I already loved...
So pleasant... Even the guy on the record behind Marsha is Mesmerized. 3:21

I love the talent at the Tiny Desk Concerts. So much passion for the music.
Her voice pierces my soul. I need more of her
So awesome! I listened to his 1st album "Mood" while I cooked dinner amd watched this clip while I ate it lol A excellent experience for me!! I'm a huge fan!
Marsha from Floetry! Her voice is amazing!
Man, usage of that mini gong was just genius,
I’m speechless….Trying to mend the broken pieces of my ❤.
Monk and Coltrane are probably smiling at him from heaven saying look at what we created.
Dats rite!!!!
Eh, a bit of an overstatement... 😉
Man, it's a great tiny concert, but 'Trane was about something else entirely
Amazing talent all.
I personally don’t think saying that is an overstatement or that it devalues Monk or Trane’s work at all. They were the legends of their time, RG a legend of our time. Music evolves.
Robert Glasper is a class act I look forward to seeing him in concert .
Listening right now n just love that I get such a warm 90s vibe 🥰 like back when Borders was a thing 📚 🎶
Amazing musicians and vocalist. I'm loving it at 65 years old and a retired music educator.
Lovely vocals, sweet keyboard, warm bass and smooth drums, great for a snowy day by the fire
This is sick. The way he held back in order to respect the silence/the piano before he started the first song I knew this was gonna be beautiful.
marshas voice gives me goose bumps. absolutely stunning vocals
Marsha is so underrated 🔥🔥
Chris brown, THIS is Robert Glasper
Amen homie, even love his Trio better dude !!
