Robert Glasper, The Roots Set For Blue Note’s Black Radio Experience

Robert Glasper

Robert Glasper will reprise his artist-in-residence role at Blue Note Jazz Festival’s Black Radio Experience when it returns Aug. 29-31 to Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa, Ca. The event will also feature performances by the Roots and Questlove, Jazmine Sullivan, Hiatus Kaiyote, Slum Village, Lupe Fiasco, Terrace Martin, Willow, Warren G and Esperanza Spalding.

The festival is named after a series of Glasper studio albums and extends his close relationship with Blue Note, which already includes his Robtober annual October residency at the titular New York jazz club. Glasper will also host and perform at a separately ticketed Black Radio Experience opening dinner and concert on Aug. 28.

More from Spin:

“Black Radio Experience and Robtober are the platforms I use to bring all my favorite artists and collaborators together as one big family reunion and this year is no different,” he says. “I’m honored to be part of such an amazing community and bring that community back together for another dope weekend in Napa.”

Each night will conclude with after-parties steered by D-Nice, Questlove, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Bryan-Michael Cox, Talib Kweli and Jahi Sundance. Click here for tickets.

Blue Note is also assuming artistic control of the event formerly known as the Playboy Jazz Festival, which began in 1979 at the Hollywood Bowl. This year’s extravaganza, now renamed Blue Note Jazz Festival and set for June 14-15, will be led by Grace Jones, the Isley Brothers and De La Soul.

The punky song appears to be a call to American car manufacturers to build safer, cleaner vehicles – although he can’t resist laying into Elon Musk along the way: “If you’re a fascist / Then get a Tesla”.

You can hear the remix below.

THE JUNE 2025 ISSUE OF UNCUT IS AVAILABLE TO ORDER NOW: STARRING R.E.M., A DOORS RARITIES CD, BON IVER, PRINCE, SHACK, AMY WINEHOUSE, DIRE STRAITS, STEREOLAB AND MORE

The track has been remixed by Jacknife Lee, who also produced the R.E.M. albums, Accelerate (2008) and Collapse Into Now (2011)

The new remix is part of a five-track EP, with proceeds from the vinyl pressing to benefit RFE/RL on its 75th anniversary & World Press Freedom Day.

“Whether it’s music or a free press – censorship anywhere is a threat to the truth everywhere. On World Press Freedom Day, I’m sending a shout-out to the brave journalists at Radio Free Europe,” says Michael Stipe.

“Radio Free Europe’s journalists have been pissing off dictators for 75 years. You know you’re doing your job when you make the right enemies. Happy World Press Freedom Day to the ‘OG’ Radio Free Europe,” says Mike Mills.

You can stream or download the track here.

A limited-edition 10-inch orange-vinyl pressing—available for pre-order now exclusively via the official R.E.M. store and independent record stores —lands September 12.

And don’t forget – R.E.M. are on the cover of the new Uncut, revisiting their early, imperial phase around the 40th anniversary of Fables Of The Reconstruction.

The Fourth Uncut New Music Playlist of 2025

A quick one today, to tie in with Bandcamp Friday. A smattering of familiar names – Lee Ranaldo, William Tyler, Garcia Peoples – but hopefully some new discoveries for you, too. I saw Margo Cilker play at the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh earlier this week, who covered “Invisible Stars” by Slow-Motion Cowboys, who I’m ashamed to say I’d not heard before, but are the project of a songwriter called Pete Fields, who dubs himself ‘the Buzzard Prince of San Francisco in Exile’. Anyway, I can’t now stop playing the track’s parent album, Wolf Of St Elmo. I’ve also included an older track by Mally Smith – another new discovery – who opened for Cilker.
