MUSIC—Pianist Robert Glasper never met a genre he couldn’t play, which is why his music embraces jazz, soul, hiphop, and much more. His two Black Radio albums are state-of-the-union statements on contemporary American music, and tonight the Robert Glasper Experiment hits the Soul’d Out Music Festival with, no doubt, some special guests appearing as well.
