SUMMARY:Robert Glasper + Alain Pérez
DESCRIPTION:This can’t-miss opening night of Lincoln Center’s Summer for the City features two performances from major contemporary superstars\, offering a vision of a spectacularly full musical future defined by genius and limitless possibility. Over an already storied 20-year career\, the multiple GRAMMY Award-winning producer\, composer\, pianist\, and culture creator Robert Glasper has seamlessly reintegrated the intersecting spirits of modern jazz\, R&B\, and Hip-Hop. Glasper’s Black Radio album project ushered in a generation of listeners for whom genre means far less than musicality. Next to hit the stage is Cuban bassist and polymath musician Alain Pérez\, who joins us as part of his Bingo summer tour. The Latin GRAMMY Award winner\, Alain Pérez & La Orquesta\, has earned an international reputation as a creative innovator whose Latin roots provide a foundation for bold expression and expansion.
