KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Robert Glasper is a three time Grammy Award winning pianist, producer and artist. He recently took us on a jazz fusion odyssey when he performed in front of an intimate crowd at Apogee Studios. He also spoke with KCRW DJ Aaron Byrd about his mother's influence on his musical career and how he fell in love with jazz.
