Canvas
As the first new instrumentalist signed to Blue Note in several years, Glasper faces a kind of performance pressure similar to that of a rookie in a baseball pennant race. But as the pianist demonstrates on "Canvas," it is all about being yourself and playing at the top of your game. The melody-maker
gives a strong, auspicious showing that not only reveals his prowess for lyricism (the quiet gem "Portrait of an Angel") but also rhythmic adventure (the opening wake-up call "Rise and Shine," with its Oscar Peterson-like dazzle). While the first half of the CD plays straight-ahead, side two shows Glasper's expansive point of view, with Fender Rhodes-led groove ("Riot," with guest saxist Mark Turner) and two tunes featuring soul vocalist Bilal. —Dan Ouellette
