**Robert Glasper: Early Works - Ryley Duncan**

  

Presented by Ryley Duncan at Paris Cat Jazz Club

  

Ryley Duncan's Trio returns to the Paris Cat showcasing the brilliance of Robert Glasper's early music.

  

Before reshaping the sound of modern jazz, Robert Glasper was already bending boundaries with a bold, genre-fusing voice. His early albums — Canvas (2005), In My Element (2007), and Double-Booked (2009) — charted a course where jazz, hip-hop, soul, and gospel collided with elegance and innovation.

  

Canvas introduced Glasper’s lyrical piano style and intricate interplay, blending post-bop roots with soulful modernity. In My Element deepened the personal and spiritual, showcasing his unique ability to merge Herbie Hancock’s legacy with J Dilla’s rhythmic sensibility. By the time Double-Booked arrived, Glasper had fully embraced duality — splitting the album between straight-ahead trio jazz and groove-driven music.
