Recorded live before an audience at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles Robert Glasper’s ‘Covered’ album sees him stripping the format back to a trio of bass, drums and piano on a largely straight ahead jazz excursion. Blending a mix of tracks including some taken from his ‘Black Radio’ albums (both volumes) Glasper and trio turn out a selection of chilled tunes that he describes as his ‘iPod favourites’. Standouts are the haunting ‘Reckoner’ (a Radiohead cover!) Jhenbe Akio’s ‘The Worst’, and ‘Got Over’ featuring the gravelly spoken word of Harry Bellafonte. Definitely one to slow down to and take in at leisure.
