  • Jazz pianist Robert Glasper plays an original composition "Enoch's Meditation," with narrative from Martin Luther King's 1966 "We Shall Overcome" speech, Barack Obama's presidential election night victory speech from Grant Park in Chicago, audio from Dr. Cornel West, and a spontaneous piano reharmonization of the presidential anthem, "Hail to the Chief." This performance was recorded January 14th at WBGO Studios in Newark, New Jersey. Produced by Josh Jackson. Mix by Josh Webb, with assistance from David Tallacksen. Happy Inauguration 2009, from the jazz community!

    The reason why I love jazz music.. No matter how short each piece is... You go on a journey throught the music and get lost in it.. a 5 min track sometimes feels more like 10 mins because your lost in the music.. Jazz music is one of a kind.

    Something that bring peace to mind in a world of heartache and stress,Yet gives us the motivation to keep pressing forward in spite of, a breif pause in life,getting a 2nd wind for a race we can't give up, the race is not to the swift but to those who endure to the end.

    There is songs that you listen to, like, and forget about after some time. And there is songs like this. Songs that sound like there is no other way to arrange the notes on a piece of paper. Songs that sound like they have ever been there, and will ever be. To me, this is one of these songs. Damn Robert Glasper makes me spiritual!

    Sensual, evocative, filled with the quiet longing of souls seeking justice, the impressionistic chords reminiscent of Shirley Horn, Bill Evans, the quiet side of Oscar Peterson, all blending together in a sound signifying a new confidence & a readiness to take one's place at the table of brotherhood.

    So many people were looking forward to an age of hope and change back in Jan 2009. So many people supported President Obama; and it's absolutely sad that most of those people are nowhere to be found when he needs our support the most. Come on people. Nov 2012! Let's do something! Let's support our President!
