The Roots + The Robert Glasper Experiment, etc. @ The Roots Jam - Highline Ballroom, NYC 7-8-09
Posted on August 19th, 2009 by HighVoltage in Black Thought, Chris Dave, Questlove, Robert Glasper, The Roots
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… The Roots’ jam sessions at Highline Ballroom in NYC are a music lovers wet dream. If you aren’t in NYC, you probably have heard about some of the big name guests that come through the sessions to rock out with The Legendary. However, what gets unjustly overshadowed are the talented musicians who craft incredible jams on the fly, completely adlibbed. The jam sessions are just as much about the music as it is the special guests. Here’s a prime example from one of the jam sessions last month as we have an amazing line-up of musicians creating a lush backdrop for Black Thought to tear through new verses over… oh yeah, did I mention this jam is 15 min long?
Chris “Daddy” Dave- Drums
Mazz Swift - Violin
Kirk Douglas - Guitar
Corey King - Trumpet
Teodross Avery - Tenor Saxophone
The Roots - “Again > Jam > Rock You” @ Highline Ballroom, NYC 7-8-09
