Although he is often called a jazz pianist, Glasper refuses to be limited by genre. The Los Angeles Times once wrote that “it’s a short list of jazz pianists who have the wherewithal to drop a J Dilla reference into a Thelonious Monk cover, but not many jazz pianists are Robert Glasper,” adding that “he’s equally comfortable in the worlds of hip-hop and jazz.”

Primo Cubano is the only hot Latin band with a Cuban “Son”-style in Maine. Primo Cubano uses the traditional acoustic instrumentation of tres, upright bass, guitar and trumpet with the rich percussion of congas, bongos, maracas, guiro, and claves. The songs’ Spanish lyrics are sung in the rhythmic call-and-response style of Son, that’s easy to join in on. With their combination of talent, experience, and energy, Primo Cubano creates smooth grooves that make you want to dance. At the end of their show here in 2010, the crowd said, “bring them back!”

He’s one of a very few seasoned artists who manages to honor the sound of traditional blues, while giving it the contemporary feel that makes modern fans groove.”
