Robert Glasper, Shine (feat. D Smoke & Tiffany Gouche)

Welcome to Something Blue. I’m Hairy Larry and i’ve got the blues, for you.

Robert Glasper, Why We Speak (feat. Q-Tip & Esperanza Spalding)

Now that’s what I’m talking about. From his album “Black Radio III” that’s Robert Glasper playing “Why We Speak” featuring Q-Tip & Esperanza Spalding. Robert Glasper blends jazz, blues, gospel, and funk on this amazing album. I recommend listening with headphones for the full stereo effect. Kicking us off tonight he did “Shine” featuring D Smoke & Tiffany Gouche.

Something Blue is broadcast on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org.

Cory Henry, Something New

All right now, that’s Cory Henry and The Funk Apostles playing “Something New” on Something Blue. Cory Henry grounds his jazz with some amazing gospel organ work. The Cory Henry songs we’re hearing tonight are from his album “Operation Funk Live”. As we hear again and again, there’s no music like live music.
