Robert Glasper’s recent album Everything’s Beautiful sees him collaborating with Erykah Badu and Stevie Wonder to rework the music of Miles Davis, picking material from the Columbia Records archives to inspire new pieces which bleed across jazz, soul and R&B. The project coincided with the release of Don Cheadle’s biopic Miles Ahead, which Glasper provided the soundtrack for, and provides further proof of Davis’ enduring legacy of one of jazz’s greatest ever players and creatives.
Check out the first video from the Everything’s Beautiful, for the track Maiysha, featuring Glasper and Badu in both musical and acting roles.
Robert Glasper Experiment play live at Band on the Wall on 16th November.
