'I literally woke up one morning and said, 'I’m going to get a fuck yo feelings tattoo.''
, Glasper possesses the unique ability to cross-examine the talent out of some of his most talented friends. For his October residency at the West Village jazz club Blue Note, Glasper performed 56 shows in 28 days, bringing along Esperanza Spalding, Luke James, and others to join him in sets that married the intimacy of jazz with the dynamism of soul—not to mention the glitter of Stevie Wonder, sprinkled atop a series of shows that paid tribute to the R&B legend.
That’s my whole thing with my favorite musicians, favorite artists—just how honest they are with themselves. How honest they are within the music. And so that’s what attracted me to her. And then, when I started this mixtape… You’d just happened to be in LA and we talked.I had the core band, just me and Chris Dave, Derrick Hodge and Johnny there. And we were just literally jamming.
I never know everything I want to do because I just wait for the moments, you know what I mean? I like to create in the studio. Most of the music you’ll hear from me, a lot of it is created in the moment.Well, I’ve always had the “fuck yo feelings” mentality. Everybody has something to say about what you’re doing, how you’re doing it. You’re not supposed to do this. You’re not supposed to do that and blah, blah, blah. I’m living my journey, so you can’t tell me how to live my journey. It’s just accepting someone else’s plight and struggles that are not your own. Understand that they have struggles that may not be yours. I’ve always had that coming up, being a black musician playing jazz.
. And then they try to tell you how to do it and it’s like, fuck yo feelings, I’m doing what the fuck I wanna do. And that’s how I’ve always given the middle finger.I thinks that’s what all of your fans and what I admire about you. It’s not just confidence but it’s also freedom and surrender and just peace because it has so much empathy in it, because every single one of those songs isn’t just about Robert or isn’t just about your firsthand experience.
