Pharoahe Monch!!! at the RPM show @Drom 08.30.2011 with my dear friend, Robert Glasper Experiment. 
This is for a movie called <RPM> and my favorite piannist, Robert Glasper is making soundtrack. He is an amazing pianist who played for many many amazing artists like, Maxwell ( I went to see Maxwell concert at Madison Square Graden last year and didnt know he was in the band!;-)), Q-Tip, Lala Hatheway ( I saw Robert and Lala gig at Blue Note...Oh that was sexy...), Roy Hargrove, MosDef, Roy Ayers and Pete Rock, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, Erykah Badu and more...Check his site for his amazing works, http://robertglasper.com/
Glasper’s first album, Mood, was released by Fresh Sound New Talent in 2004, after the pianist’s stints playing in bands with guitaristsRussell Malone and Mark Whitfield, bassist Christian McBride, and trumpeters Terence Blanchard (Bounce) and Roy Hargrove. The album features six original compositions by Glasper alongside versions of “Blue Skies,” “Alone Together,” and Herbie Hancock’s “Maiden Voyage,” featuring guest vocalist Bilal. Glasper has said that his arrangement of the Hancock tune was inspired by the Radiohead song “Everything in Its Right Place.”<He has worked with Bilal and Mos Def as musical director, Q-Tip (The Renaissance), Kanye West (Late Registration), Meshell Ndegeocello (The World Has Made Me the Man of My Dreams), J Dilla, Erykah Badu, Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Common, Slum Village and Maxwell, with whom he toured extensively on 2009’s BLACKsummers'nighttour.>
