DCist Preview: Robert Glasper @ Bohemian Caverns

Over the past decade, an exciting scene has emerged in New York that lies at the intersection of jazz, hip-hop and neo-soul. A group of highly trained musicians have come together to form a new sound, rooted very much in urban African-American culture, but willing to embrace influences from any and all sources. Players like Marcus Strickland, Stefon Harris and Casey Benjamin are just a few of the names that come up time and again with respect to this sound. These artists are at home no matter what the setting, whether its in a jazz club playing hard-nosed post-bop or backing some of the biggest MCs and soul divas of the day. At the center of this storm is keyboardist Robert Glasper, who will be leading a cohort of these young lions this weekend at Bohemian Caverns.
