    Robert's chord progression is so colorful and rich. You can't help follow his harmonic melodic feeling and expression. He plays from the depths of his soul. "He is a talented arranger. And Derrick Hodge knows how to fill in the right areas, on the acoustic bass viola. Awesome. "👌👌👌👌😊

    The bass player beating on the upright gives the piece that extra bit of percussiveness. Very thought out and executed perfectly. 1:19 , 1:55 , 2:20 , the ending, so many great parts to this.

    The way he phrases the chorus' melody, with the slight "clanging bells" vibe, reminded me of Ethan Iverson's essay (on his 'Do the Math' blog) called "Red's Bells". Among the things that Iverson discusses in that piece is the sonic link between bells, African music, and jazz pianists like Red Garland and, a little later, McCoy Tyner.

    For anyone wondering, 'that' chord at 1:53 is called a tierce de picardie (or picardy third) and is basically when you substitute a minor chord with a major chord in a minor progression

    He is very talented artist and he's the first artist that I ever have a crush on. He has made music with many talented artists that I like, Jill Scott ,Soulchild, Erykah Badu and that's just to name a few...... I pour me a glass of wine my back in my chair and turn on his music...
