Today, New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club has announced that multi-Grammy Award-winning artist Robert Glasper will return to the Big Apple venue for a stacked fall residency. The tenure has been dubbed “Robtober” and will take place from Oct. 4 through Nov. 5. Glasper is scheduled to perform 48 shows over 24 nights, including over Halloween weekend.
The artist shared a statement alongside the venue’s official press release, in which he added a comment on the upcoming events: “Robtober is back! This is year 4 of my residency at the legendary Blue Note in NYC!! Coming off the heels of the Blue Note Jazz Festival in Napa Valley, I can’t wait to see what this residency has in store! Let’s Go Robtober!!”
In 2018, Glasper became the fourth musician to hold a month-long residency at New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club, after Dizzy Gillespie, Chick Correa and Chris Botti. At that time, The New York Times regarded him as “probably the most prominent jazz musician of his generation.”
Tickets for Glasper’s month-long residency are on sale now and can be purchased by visiting bluenotejazz.com.
