Featuring an esteemed roster of frequent collaborators—Cynthia Erivo, PJ Morton, Sevyn Streeter, Tarriona “Tank” Ball, Alex Isley, Andra Day, Doobie Powell, and The Baylor Project—In December initially released as an Apple Music exclusive and is now available on all platforms and on festive gold and red vinyl and CD via Loma Vista Recordings / Concord, an evocative and moving addition to Glasper’s critically lauded catalog.

The eight-track project finds Glasper’s unique approach to contemporary R&B and jazz, encapsulated in his famed Black Radio series, applied to what is a sonically unique take on holiday music.  This non-traditional holiday release brings a weight and musical funkiness to a genre and time of year that is often seeped in campy or classic holiday motifs. Speaking on In December, Robert Glasper says, “I’m excited to drop my first holiday record. I hope it brings as much joy as I had making it. Sip some eggnog and enjoy.”

Arriving as a bookend to another monumental year for Glasper, In December preceded the closing of the 6th year of the exceptional artist’s world renowned ROBTOBER residency at Blue Note in NYC, featuring special guest performances by Common, Andra Day, Questlove, RAYE, Stokley, Doobie Powell, Marsha Ambrosius, Little Brother, Chris Dave, Derrick Hodge, DJ Jahi Sundance, and more.

Glasper has currently earned his 14th GRAMMY nomination for Best Alternative Jazz Album for Code Derivation released earlier this year.
