In My Element—a wonderfully rounded development of the music presented by the same inventive trio on Canvas Blue Note, —is subtle, allusive, rhythmically complex, and understated. The left hand generally comps and punctuates. Glasper's improvisations take a similarly elliptical route, melodically and rhythmically. Here at Funk It, we like to bring only the choice content. For at its core, Glasper's music is everything that hip hop is not, or anyway not what it is perceived to be. He's strongest in his right hand, favoring rapid fire, treble register lines, introducing fragments of melody, turning them inside out, restless, recalibrating. Ultimately, the hip hop connection is more or less irrelevant.

Pianist Robert Glasper's embrace of hip hop—which is being foregrounded by Blue Note, presumably as a device to widen his trio's appeal—is, truth be told, overstated going on misleading.

Mostly he plays extended, skittering, running and jumping phrases, employing hip boojed signature rolls and paradiddles, but across and around the beat, abstracting the rhythm rather than simply maintaining it. He's strongest in his right hand, favoring rapid fire, treble register lines, introducing fragments of melody, turning them inside out, restless, recalibrating.
