"headTitle": "Robert Glasper Carries Black Music Into A Post-Hip-Hop World | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]“B[/dropcap]lack music is a big house with a lot of rooms,” says pianist, composer, and producer Robert Glasper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A musical unicorn who has crystallized multiple genres into his own distinct brand, Glasper’s genius lays not only in his technical ability and musical acumen, but his willingness to embrace crossover as a necessary – and not unprecedented – aspect of Black music’s evolution and survival. While he prefers the term “musician” to “jazz musician,” he is profoundly aware of jazz’s role as canon, foundation, and inspiration for today’s musical movements — notably hip-hop. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach on 1960’s “Freedom Dance” foreshadowing Public Enemy’s sociopolitical creed, or jazz samples and breakbeats becoming part of hip-hop’s DNA, “jazz and hip-hop belong together,” Glasper says. “Jazz and hip-hop were born out of necessity. They both were born out of the struggle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/_PRfWgpsjyw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: “In Tune,” from Glasper’s latest album \u003cem>Black Radio III\u003c/em>. Amir Suleiman’s impassioned spoken-words are elegy, tribute, mourning, and resilience, a callback to the field hollers of pre-emancipation Afro-America. And, by extension, the radical truth of the Last Poets, the Black Arts Movement-identified “godfathers of rap” who developed a poetic style called “spoagraphics” to describe their visual imagery. Instead of conga drums, the heartbeat is Glasper’s piano; past the halfway mark, the song fills out with wafting horns and snare drum hits, becoming transformative and therapeutic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not a hip-hop track per se — there are no 808 beats, no machete-like scratches, no call-and-response chants. But “In Tune” is everything hip-hop ever aspired to be artistically: a marriage of traditional folkloric culture and contemporary relevance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_10759782']As the artist-in-residence and co-curator of the annual \u003ca href=\"https://www.bluenotejazz.com/jazz-festival-napa/\">Blue Note Jazz Festival in Napa, running July 28–30\u003c/a>, Glasper has assembled a lineup based on this philosophy of pastiche, bridging the worlds of hip-hop and jazz. Headliners include the “queen of hip-hop soul” Mary J. Blige, Queensbridge emcee Nas, and Chicago’s Chance the Rapper. Glasper plays live sets each of the three days, with special guests De La Soul, Lalah Hathaway, Terrace Martin and Bilal. The undercard is further saturated with the likes of Rakim and DJ Jazzy Jeff, Talib Kweli and Madlib, Digable Planets, Cordae, and host Dave Chappele. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2023 – a year deemed hip-hop’s 50th anniversary – Glasper knows the culture has become impossible to ignore. “Hip-hop is in itself so huge. It’s like the most global music in the world; every country has hip-hop. It’s been the leading thing in culture – not just in music, but in fashion, in sports. And it’s just so many things, and influenced so many people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13931658\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Glasper.car_.jpg\" alt=\"A man in a brown jacket, patterned shirt and jeans leans against a luxury sportscar\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13931658\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Glasper.car_.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Glasper.car_-160x240.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glasper’s informal education included sessions with Questlove and J. Dilla: ‘I literally learned from the greatest.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy Blue Note Jazz Festival)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a live setting, Glasper says, “some hip hop artists are like having another horn in a jazz band. They’re really able to be in the moment and be able to really empathize with you, but using words, and go wherever you want to go. And that’s an art. That’s a true art.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rapping skillfully over live music and maintaining the flow of the groove is where the artistry shines, he says. “A lot of cats freestyle, (but) they’re just freestyling to a beat that’s just there, or no beat at all. You’re not freestyling to a band that could change at any moment and go different places and add elements in and out of all these different things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glasper points out that seminal hip-hop songs by De La Soul (“Stakes Is High”) and Nas (“The World Is Yours”) both sampled jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal. Chance The Rapper and Cordae are also heavily jazz-influenced, he adds. And not only has Madlib repurposed hundreds if not thousands of jazz records as sample loops, but DJ Jazzy Jeff’s pioneering turntablist track “A Touch of Jazz” includes elements of Marvin Gaye’s “T Plays It Cool,” Bob James’ “Westchester Lady,” and Donald Byrd’s “Change (Makes You Want to Hustle),” alongside booming drums and expressive scratch cuts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/RWJWKcUooTA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Napa festival further accentuates the evolution of jazz culture in the Bay Area, whose history includes a San Francisco residency by New Orleans legend King Oliver in 1921, and excursions into Healdsburg by the San Francisco-based So Different jazz band during the 1920s – a time when jazz embodied the cultural leading edge of social integration efforts. Holding a major Black cultural festival in the heart of California’s wine country represents another giant step, so to speak, towards social equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s literally what (the Blue Note Jazz Festival) is, the history of jazz, mixing it with all styles of music, and mixing the styles that jazz has influenced. And the big part of this year is 50 years of hip-hop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Steeped in Black music’s evolution\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Glasper’s history in some ways reflects the history of jazz itself. His musical education began as a young child in Texas, where his mother, a blues and jazz singer and musical director for a Baptist church, brought him along to club dates. His first public performances were in the Black church, where he became steeped in gospel and began to develop his own style of playing. A musical prodigy, he performed with a university jazz band while still in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13929248']An early flashpoint was seeing Roy Hargrove freely mix jazz with contemporary genres. When he first saw the trumpeter play live, “I was in high school,” he recalls. “I was like, ‘Oh, man, you could be young, Black, wear sneakers and look like that — and play jazz?’ And then I was like, ‘Oh, you can play jazz \u003cem>and\u003c/em> you could play with D’Angelo? And you can play with Common?’ I saw that in real time in real life. That inspired me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a student of the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York during the late ’90s, he met singer Bilal – who would become a regular collaborator – and became enmeshed the East Coast’s burgeoning neo-soul and hip-hop scenes, which frequently intersected through now-legendary production teams like the Ummah and the Soulquarians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/GcPjI9c8kxY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In college, that’s what was happening around ’97, the neo-soul movement and specifically J. Dilla-infused R&B. So I was really in that scene a lot, working with Bilal, opening up for Erykah Badu and Common, and seeing people like James Poyser, who is one of the big influences on my playing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glasper waxes poetically over producers like J. Dilla and Q-Tip, who brought a jazz sensibility to hip-hop tracks like A Tribe Called Quest’s “Lyrics to Go” and Busta Rhymes’ “Still Shining.” “They’re both jazz lovers. Coming from the jazz world, I immediately heard the jazz nuances they would put in their music, in their beats.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13931138']Glasper considers himself fortunate to have witnessed Dilla and Q-Tip’s creative process in intimate settings. “I used to go over Tip’s house and replay samples when I was in college all the time.” His first gigs playing hip-hop were with the Roots, who worked frequently with Dilla at the time. “Literally, the Roots and Dilla pretty much raised me.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the Philadelphia hip-hop collective, “I learned how to stay in a pocket, and understand how to play (piano) like a sample, by playing with Questlove.” Sometimes, Dilla would be present during these woodshedding sessions. “Me being able to sit across the room with Dilla, him on the MPC, I’m on the keys — I literally learned from the greatest how to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/feNYt7B237M\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2004, he released \u003cem>Mood\u003c/em>, his first album as a bandleader, a fairly traditional jazz trio album of standards and original compositions. The following year, he began his long association with Blue Note Records with the trio album \u003cem>Canvas\u003c/em>. His music began to veer toward fusion with 2007’s \u003cem>In My Element\u003c/em>, which included a cover of Radiohead’s “Everything In Its Right Place.” A 2009 offering, \u003cem>Double Booked\u003c/em>, balanced acoustic trio material with his electric band, The Robert Glasper Experiment, including a track with emcee Yasiin Bey (then known as Mos Def).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came his 2012 breakthrough \u003cem>Black Radio\u003c/em>, which featured guests Lupe Fiasco, Bilal, Lalah Hathaway, Erykah Badu and Yasiin Bey. Highlights included a Badu-ized version of the jazz standard “Afro Blue” and a decidedly non-grunge take on Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The album established Glasper as a commercially successful, forward-thinking artist who could lead jazz music in new directions, engage non-traditional jazz audiences, and do it all in a way that wasn’t cringeworthy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here’s the thing, though. Rock is Black music. Hello!,” Glasper proclaims. “A lot of people still to this day don’t understand that (“Teen Spirit”), that’s a song that I’ve always loved. But I also know the roots of that song came from us. That was my reasoning for that and kind of doing it in a more urban way. So then, it speaks to more Black folk that way also.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/KdgWiWrtMZo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tradition of jazz, he says, is rife with artists who expanded the genre by refusing to be pigeonholed, from John Coltrane interpreting “My Favorite Things” and Carmen McRae reimagining The Beatles to Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock, Roy Ayers and Ramsey Lewis mixing jazz, funk, and R&B.

While he prefers the term “musician” to “jazz musician,” he is profoundly aware of jazz’s role as canon, foundation, and inspiration for today’s musical movements — notably hip-hop. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach on 1960’s “Freedom Dance” foreshadowing Public Enemy’s sociopolitical creed, or jazz samples and breakbeats becoming part of hip-hop’s DNA, “jazz and hip-hop belong together,” Glasper says. “Jazz and hip-hop were born out of necessity. They both were born out of the struggle.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/_PRfWgpsjyw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/_PRfWgpsjyw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Case in point: “In Tune,” from Glasper’s latest album \u003cem>Black Radio III\u003c/em>. Amir Suleiman’s impassioned spoken-words are elegy, tribute, mourning, and resilience, a callback to the field hollers of pre-emancipation Afro-America. And, by extension, the radical truth of the Last Poets, the Black Arts Movement-identified “godfathers of rap” who developed a poetic style called “spoagraphics” to describe their visual imagery. Instead of conga drums, the heartbeat is Glasper’s piano; past the halfway mark, the song fills out with wafting horns and snare drum hits, becoming transformative and therapeutic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Headliners include the “queen of hip-hop soul” Mary J. Blige, Queensbridge emcee Nas, and Chicago’s Chance the Rapper. Glasper plays live sets each of the three days, with special guests De La Soul, Lalah Hathaway, Terrace Martin and Bilal. The undercard is further saturated with the likes of Rakim and DJ Jazzy Jeff, Talib Kweli and Madlib, Digable Planets, Cordae, and host Dave Chappele. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2023 – a year deemed hip-hop’s 50th anniversary – Glasper knows the culture has become impossible to ignore. “Hip-hop is in itself so huge. It’s like the most global music in the world; every country has hip-hop. It’s been the leading thing in culture – not just in music, but in fashion, in sports. And it’s just so many things, and influenced so many people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13931658\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Glasper.car_.jpg\" alt=\"A man in a brown jacket, patterned shirt and jeans leans against a luxury sportscar\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13931658\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Glasper.car_.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Glasper.car_-160x240.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glasper’s informal education included sessions with Questlove and J. Dilla: ‘I literally learned from the greatest.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy Blue Note Jazz Festival)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a live setting, Glasper says, “some hip hop artists are like having another horn in a jazz band. They’re really able to be in the moment and be able to really empathize with you, but using words, and go wherever you want to go. And that’s an art. That’s a true art.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rapping skillfully over live music and maintaining the flow of the groove is where the artistry shines, he says. “A lot of cats freestyle, (but) they’re just freestyling to a beat that’s just there, or no beat at all. You’re not freestyling to a band that could change at any moment and go different places and add elements in and out of all these different things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glasper points out that seminal hip-hop songs by De La Soul (“Stakes Is High”) and Nas (“The World Is Yours”) both sampled jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal. Chance The Rapper and Cordae are also heavily jazz-influenced, he adds. And not only has Madlib repurposed hundreds if not thousands of jazz records as sample loops, but DJ Jazzy Jeff’s pioneering turntablist track “A Touch of Jazz” includes elements of Marvin Gaye’s “T Plays It Cool,” Bob James’ “Westchester Lady,” and Donald Byrd’s “Change (Makes You Want to Hustle),” alongside booming drums and expressive scratch cuts. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/RWJWKcUooTA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/RWJWKcUooTA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The Napa festival further accentuates the evolution of jazz culture in the Bay Area, whose history includes a San Francisco residency by New Orleans legend King Oliver in 1921, and excursions into Healdsburg by the San Francisco-based So Different jazz band during the 1920s – a time when jazz embodied the cultural leading edge of social integration efforts. Holding a major Black cultural festival in the heart of California’s wine country represents another giant step, so to speak, towards social equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s literally what (the Blue Note Jazz Festival) is, the history of jazz, mixing it with all styles of music, and mixing the styles that jazz has influenced. And the big part of this year is 50 years of hip-hop.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Steeped in Black music’s evolution\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Glasper’s history in some ways reflects the history of jazz itself. His musical education began as a young child in Texas, where his mother, a blues and jazz singer and musical director for a Baptist church, brought him along to club dates. His first public performances were in the Black church, where he became steeped in gospel and began to develop his own style of playing. A musical prodigy, he performed with a university jazz band while still in high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When he first saw the trumpeter play live, “I was in high school,” he recalls. “I was like, ‘Oh, man, you could be young, Black, wear sneakers and look like that — and play jazz?’ And then I was like, ‘Oh, you can play jazz \u003cem>and\u003c/em> you could play with D’Angelo? And you can play with Common?’ I saw that in real time in real life. That inspired me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a student of the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York during the late ’90s, he met singer Bilal – who would become a regular collaborator – and became enmeshed the East Coast’s burgeoning neo-soul and hip-hop scenes, which frequently intersected through now-legendary production teams like the Ummah and the Soulquarians.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/GcPjI9c8kxY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/GcPjI9c8kxY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“In college, that’s what was happening around ’97, the neo-soul movement and specifically J.

Dilla and Q-Tip, who brought a jazz sensibility to hip-hop tracks like A Tribe Called Quest’s “Lyrics to Go” and Busta Rhymes’ “Still Shining.” “They’re both jazz lovers. Coming from the jazz world, I immediately heard the jazz nuances they would put in their music, in their beats.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The following year, he began his long association with Blue Note Records with the trio album \u003cem>Canvas\u003c/em>. His music began to veer toward fusion with 2007’s \u003cem>In My Element\u003c/em>, which included a cover of Radiohead’s “Everything In Its Right Place.” A 2009 offering, \u003cem>Double Booked\u003c/em>, balanced acoustic trio material with his electric band, The Robert Glasper Experiment, including a track with emcee Yasiin Bey (then known as Mos Def).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came his 2012 breakthrough \u003cem>Black Radio\u003c/em>, which featured guests Lupe Fiasco, Bilal, Lalah Hathaway, Erykah Badu and Yasiin Bey. Highlights included a Badu-ized version of the jazz standard “Afro Blue” and a decidedly non-grunge take on Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The album established Glasper as a commercially successful, forward-thinking artist who could lead jazz music in new directions, engage non-traditional jazz audiences, and do it all in a way that wasn’t cringeworthy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Here’s the thing, though. Rock is Black music. Hello!,” Glasper proclaims. “A lot of people still to this day don’t understand that (“Teen Spirit”), that’s a song that I’ve always loved. But I also know the roots of that song came from us. That was my reasoning for that and kind of doing it in a more urban way.

The two-day fest, which debuted in 2015, aims to decenter the white gaze of the mainstream comics industry in favor of narratives that explore Black and brown history, culture, imagination and possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a two-year virtual run due to the pandemic, the San Francisco festival has reemerged with a stacked slate of programming. Jan. 15 will feature film screenings alongside a series of panels on Afrofuturism; Egyptian influences on modern-day superheroes; and how the past, present and future can be interwoven into new, expansive stories. Jan. 16 will welcome the long-awaited BCAF Expo, a convention-style event where a wide range of mainstream and indie artists will be selling their comics, illustrations, books and other creative works.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"arts_13921425,arts_13890579,arts_13914865\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like the Super Bowl of Black creators on the West Coast,” says Oakland artist \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/nuthingoodat4/\">Avy Jetter\u003c/a>, a longtime BCAF exhibitor known for her zombie horror comic \u003cem>Nuthin Good Ever Happens at 4 a.m.\u003c/em> and a series of personal zines that detail her struggles with grief and health. At the first fest, she felt like “such a noob,” worried that she would stick out amongst the other more established artists. But as the day went on, Jetter was surprised at how many fellow comics lovers and creators approached her to offer support, encouragement and collaboration. Now, every time she returns, it “feels like a family reunion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BCAF was sparked by a conversation between comic book artist \u003ca href=\"https://www.johnjenningsstudio.com/\">John Jennings\u003c/a> and NorCalMLK Foundation executive director \u003ca href=\"https://norcalmlkfoundation.org/people/aaron-grizzell/\">Aaron Grizzell\u003c/a> as they sat for a meal in the summer of 2014. Inspired by the Schomburg Center’s annual \u003ca href=\"https://www.schomcom.org/\">Black Comic Book Festival\u003c/a> in New York, the two were determined to carve out a space that would celebrate and honor Black imagination in the Bay Area. Soon after, comics creator \u003ca href=\"https://bcafcon.org/about/advisors/david-walker/\">David Walker\u003c/a> and cultural anthropologist \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/swcarpenter\">Stanford Carpenter\u003c/a> got on board, forming a seminal part of the fest’s advisory committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a group of people who are creatives, who are scholars and who are managers and executives at nonprofits, who just got together and asked, ‘Would it be cool if we did this?’” says Carpenter. “And then answered it by doing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjR5aoP8dOM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organizers say BCAF was a success from the get-go, drawing large crowds who were hungry for the bold, diverse stories that were often missing from the shelves of their local comic stores. In place of cookie-cutter superheroes, attendees found Black characters like the brawny vigilante Luke Cage, the nerdy and sensitive student Miles Morales and the katana-wielding apocalyptic survivor Michonne Grimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were also independently published zines, comics and graphic novels that illustrated poignant stories — both real and fiction — about the struggles and joys of navigating different worlds and challenges as a person of color. From the beginning, organizers stressed the importance of spotlighting local, indie creators at the convention, as well as the power of representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we begin to see ourselves in cultural spaces and sort of interact with ourselves in regular and normal ways in popular culture,” says Grizzell, “then we find out that, like back in the day, ‘Black is beautiful,’ right?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At BCAF, all comics lovers, old and young, are encouraged to wander without shame. Nothing is a “guilty pleasure,” says writer and BCAF advisor \u003ca href=\"https://www.shawntaylor.net/\">Shawn Taylor.\u003c/a> “It’s such a liberating feeling,” Taylor continues. “Imagine being able to be in your full cultural, ethnic, mythological, folkloric self without having to filter that self through oppressive whiteness, or oppressive maleness or oppressive heterosexuality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>BCAF 2023 will take place on Jan. 15 and Jan. 16 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

But as the day went on, Jetter was surprised at how many fellow comics lovers and creators approached her to offer support, encouragement and collaboration. Now, every time she returns, it “feels like a family reunion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BCAF was sparked by a conversation between comic book artist \u003ca href=\"https://www.johnjenningsstudio.com/\">John Jennings\u003c/a> and NorCalMLK Foundation executive director \u003ca href=\"https://norcalmlkfoundation.org/people/aaron-grizzell/\">Aaron Grizzell\u003c/a> as they sat for a meal in the summer of 2014. Inspired by the Schomburg Center’s annual \u003ca href=\"https://www.schomcom.org/\">Black Comic Book Festival\u003c/a> in New York, the two were determined to carve out a space that would celebrate and honor Black imagination in the Bay Area. Soon after, comics creator \u003ca href=\"https://bcafcon.org/about/advisors/david-walker/\">David Walker\u003c/a> and cultural anthropologist \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/swcarpenter\">Stanford Carpenter\u003c/a> got on board, forming a seminal part of the fest’s advisory committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a group of people who are creatives, who are scholars and who are managers and executives at nonprofits, who just got together and asked, ‘Would it be cool if we did this?’” says Carpenter. “And then answered it by doing it.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/BjR5aoP8dOM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/BjR5aoP8dOM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Organizers say BCAF was a success from the get-go, drawing large crowds who were hungry for the bold, diverse stories that were often missing from the shelves of their local comic stores. In place of cookie-cutter superheroes, attendees found Black characters like the brawny vigilante Luke Cage, the nerdy and sensitive student Miles Morales and the katana-wielding apocalyptic survivor Michonne Grimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were also independently published zines, comics and graphic novels that illustrated poignant stories — both real and fiction — about the struggles and joys of navigating different worlds and challenges as a person of color. From the beginning, organizers stressed the importance of spotlighting local, indie creators at the convention, as well as the power of representation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we begin to see ourselves in cultural spaces and sort of interact with ourselves in regular and normal ways in popular culture,” says Grizzell, “then we find out that, like back in the day, ‘Black is beautiful,’ right?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At BCAF, all comics lovers, old and young, are encouraged to wander without shame. Nothing is a “guilty pleasure,” says writer and BCAF advisor \u003ca href=\"https://www.shawntaylor.net/\">Shawn Taylor.\u003c/a> “It’s such a liberating feeling,” Taylor continues. “Imagine being able to be in your full cultural, ethnic, mythological, folkloric self without having to filter that self through oppressive whiteness, or oppressive maleness or oppressive heterosexuality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>BCAF 2023 will take place on Jan. 15 and Jan. 16 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

But when it opened on Sept. 24, things quickly turned hectic. Bottles and cans littered the ground at San Francisco’s Pier 80, and the sounds of them being crushed and kicked became synonymous with the rush of crowds. Fans waited restlessly outside the Warehouse Stage, and at one point on Saturday, they flooded security, climbing up banisters and rushing through lines to catch popular acts inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The many issues led to discontentment with festival organizers Goldenvoice (the same company that puts on Coachella), with \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2022/09/25/photos-portola-festival-debuts-with-spectacular-shows-but-very-messy-crowd-management/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fans drawing attention to safety concerns\u003c/a>. And Bay Area residents as far away as Alameda took to social media to complain about noise pollution—one person emailed KQED to share that the bass rattled her windows across the San Francisco Bay.[aside postid=arts_13916410,arts_13919405]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although social media users compared Portola to the deadly Astroworld Festival, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/dec/16/astroworld-festival-deaths-ruled-accidental\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">killed 10 people in Houston in 2021\u003c/a>, the San Francisco Police Department told KQED that there were no arrests or reports of injuries due to rushing crowds, and that officers assisted with medical and traffic issues. “We are aware of complaints related to the music, which we will be addressing with the event coordinator,” a public information officer wrote via email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a minimal, isolated issue with a festival stage entrance on Saturday,” Portola organizers wrote in a statement. “This occurred within the confines of the grounds and was quickly addressed and corrected. There were no injuries reported to Medical as a result of this issue. The festival continued for another six hours on day one and the entirety of day two without incident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the unease on day one, the crowd control improved on Sunday, and Portola still delivered some solid performances. While sound and safety could have definitely used some improvement, the stages were full of energy and invited people to rave and dance at a time when solitude has become the norm. Here are some highlights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13919652\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13919652\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/The-crowd-at-Portola-Music-Festival-in-San-Francisco-on-Sunday-Sept.-25-2022.-006-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/The-crowd-at-Portola-Music-Festival-in-San-Francisco-on-Sunday-Sept.-25-2022.-006-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/The-crowd-at-Portola-Music-Festival-in-San-Francisco-on-Sunday-Sept.-25-2022.-006-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/The-crowd-at-Portola-Music-Festival-in-San-Francisco-on-Sunday-Sept.-25-2022.-006-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/The-crowd-at-Portola-Music-Festival-in-San-Francisco-on-Sunday-Sept.-25-2022.-006-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/The-crowd-at-Portola-Music-Festival-in-San-Francisco-on-Sunday-Sept.-25-2022.-006-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/The-crowd-at-Portola-Music-Festival-in-San-Francisco-on-Sunday-Sept.-25-2022.-006.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The crowd at Portola Music Festival in San Francisco on Sunday, Sept. 25, 2022. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Caroline Polachek Blends Electronic Sound with Angelic Vocals\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Listening to Caroline Polachek’s maximalist pop feels like walking into a lush garden suspended in space.

When she opened her set with “Pang,” she grandly swept her arms up as she sang, creating an atmosphere of dreamy vocalizations and harmonies.

But when it opened on Sept. 24, things quickly turned hectic. Bottles and cans littered the ground at San Francisco’s Pier 80, and the sounds of them being crushed and kicked became synonymous with the rush of crowds. Fans waited restlessly outside the Warehouse Stage, and at one point on Saturday, they flooded security, climbing up banisters and rushing through lines to catch popular acts inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The many issues led to discontentment with festival organizers Goldenvoice (the same company that puts on Coachella), with \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2022/09/25/photos-portola-festival-debuts-with-spectacular-shows-but-very-messy-crowd-management/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fans drawing attention to safety concerns\u003c/a>.

But if you’re inclined to do a little wandering between the festival’s four stages, one of the prime pleasures of the festival comes from checking out unfamiliar artists, whether a rising star or a veteran performer trying out a new combo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways Hardly Strictly is more than a festival.

Her relaxed phrasing and becalmed delivery hints at the deep currents flowing through her music, which slows the passage of time with ripples of self-revelation. Her name means “truth” in Sanskrit, but Satya offers hints and clues rather than a road map, inviting listeners along as she finds her way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHbl6zhO3wo\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/joy-oladokun/\">Joy Oladokun\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday 3:55-4:45pm\u003cbr>\nTowers of Gold Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A first-generation Nigerian-American singer/songwriter, Joy Oladokun creates music from her perspective as a queer Black woman who’s absorbed the forthright stance of artists like Tracy Chapman and Joan Armatrading. Raised in Arizona and now based in Los Angeles, she’s staked an early claim as one of the decade’s artists to watch with two albums that brim with confidence, vulnerability, and righteous melodic invention: 2020’s \u003cem>in defense of my own happiness (the beginnings)\u003c/em> and 2021’s \u003cem>in defense of my own happiness\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvie5df0SP8\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/charley-crockett/\">Charley Crockett\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday 5:45-7pm\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Towers of Gold Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often cast as polar idioms, country music and the blues share deep roots that the best country artists manifest clearly. With his telegraphic storytelling and dry humor, Charley Crockett embodies the blues aesthetic that hard times are best endured by turning tribulation into a communal exorcism. He’s a dauntingly prolific artist who’s released a diverse array of material on 11 albums since 2015, including a simmering new project, \u003cem>The Man from Waco\u003c/em>, that feels like an homage to Johnny Cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JygS9kX-kak\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/cedric-watson/\">Cedric Watson\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Banjo Stage\u003cbr>\nSaturday 11-11:45am\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fiddler, singer, accordionist and songwriter Cedric Watson is a leading force in the revival of Creole and Acadian roots music, drawing on centuries-old songs spread by the French and Spanish empires and rhythms brought to the Caribbean by enslaved West Africans. Part of what makes Watson such a dynamic artist is that he’s both a deep scholar and a prolific songwriter who carries traditional forms into the 21\u003csup>st\u003c/sup> century, mixing and melding influences as he sees fit. He also performs at the festival afterparty \u003ca href=\"https://www.ashkenaz.com/events-backend/cedric-watson-a-hardly-strictly-bluegrass-afterparty\">Oct. 1 at Ashkenaz\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEtoiqy0VGo\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/aj-lee-and-blue-summit/\">AJ Lee & Blue Summit\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saturday 1:30-2:10pm\u003cbr>\nBandwagon Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A product of the Bay Area’s verdant bluegrass music scene, guitarist, mandolinist and vocalist AJ Lee was still in her mid-teens when she started performing with Blue Summit in 2015. Now a road-seasoned act, the band released an impressive second album last year with \u003cem>I’ll Come Back\u003c/em>, featuring Sullivan Tuttle and Scott Gates on steel string guitars, fiddler Jan Purat and bassist Chad Bowen. Bluegrass is still a major source of inspiration for the group, but their sound now draws on a wider constellation of acoustic idioms, fitting comfortably under the Americana umbrella while avoiding many of the attendant clichés.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEyYlyRr2_U\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/waxahatchee/\">Waxahatchee\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saturday 3:55-4:55pm\u003cbr>\nBanjo Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Named after a creek that runs close to her childhood home in Alabama, Katie Crutchfield’s solo project Waxahatchee has become a major outlet for her songwriting in recent years. She’s released a series of trenchant, critically acclaimed albums over the past decade, but 2020’s \u003cem>Saint Cloud\u003c/em> found her in particularly harrowing territory, a sojourn inspired by her determination to attain sobriety.

Teaming up with Charlie Hunter, the jazz-meets-funk guitarist who contributed to influential albums by D’Angelo and A Tribe Called Quest, Hickman recorded the stellar album \u003cem>Drums, Roots & Steel\u003c/em> for Little Village Foundation, a project that ushers the Sacred Steel sound into celebratory secular settings. A Berkeley native based in North Carolina, Hunter is also in town with SuperBlue, his hip-hop-inflected collaboration with jazz vocalist Kurt Elling, playing Menlo Park’s \u003ca href=\"https://guildtheatre.com/events/superblue-kurt-elling-ft-charlie-hunter-9-27-22/\">Guild Theater Sept. 27\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://secure.thefreight.org/11472/kurt-elling-charlie-hunter\">Freight & Salvage Sept. 30\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RzaRh6E6bY\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/the-whitmore-sisters/\">The Whitmore Sisters\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sunday 4:55-5:40pm\u003cbr>\nPorch Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleanor Whitmore has long been known for her work with her husband Chris Masterson in The Mastersons, but after being grounded by the pandemic she teamed up with her younger sister Bonnie to renew their musical relationship in the Whitmore Sisters.

Raised in Arizona and now based in Los Angeles, she’s staked an early claim as one of the decade’s artists to watch with two albums that brim with confidence, vulnerability, and righteous melodic invention: 2020’s \u003cem>in defense of my own happiness (the beginnings)\u003c/em> and 2021’s \u003cem>in defense of my own happiness\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/zvie5df0SP8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/zvie5df0SP8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/charley-crockett/\">Charley Crockett\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday 5:45-7pm\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Towers of Gold Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often cast as polar idioms, country music and the blues share deep roots that the best country artists manifest clearly.
