Robert Glaser is one of jazz's modern greats. Aside from making a name for himself in the jazz community, he has collaborated with Common, Talib Kweli, Q-Tip, Slum Village, Badu, and Jay-Z.
Glasper's most recent album featured a lengthy jazz interpretation of J Dilla's work, which inspired Mos Def to approach him for a hip-hop meets jazz Dilla tribute at the University of Michigan about a year ago. The result is simply stunning. It is perhaps the best live hip-hop performance I have ever heard, moreover had the patience to listen to front to back.
Standout tracks include The $, and the original version of E=MC2 that we dropped a few weeks ago on you.

Whoever is taking this down, and Im going to assume it's Stones Throw, you DONT own this recording. It's not Dilla's work. This is a live show.
