Robert Glasper on Radiohead

Posted on August 17th, 2007.

Jazz pianist Robert Glasper released his new album ‘In My Element’, which includes Radiohead’s Everything in Its Right Place in a blender with Herbie Hancock’s Maiden Voyage.

According to The Guardian, the track is the album’s highlight. Robert Glasper: “A lot of jazz musicians love Radiohead, they’re very jazz-friendly. They have great chord changes and weird, screwed-up time signatures, but they also write beautiful and compelling melodies. They have a way of sneaking in complexity without you realising it. That’s what good jazz music has the power to do.”
