Common Instagram – Glasshaus Presents: Bilal feat. Questlove, Common, Robert Glasper and Burniss Travis
(Gallery 1 of 2)
Grammy Award winning artist Bilal wore the many characters of his multi-dimensional music in a mid-career retrospective that transfixed the intimate audience at Glasshaus. His uncanny vocal range carved from falsetto to growl and everything in between, while Glasper and Travis extended arrangements, Common freestyled, and musical director Questlove held court with the backstory of “Sometimes”, which read like an impromptu Questlove Supreme.
This rare and historic reunion of collaborators performed songs from Bilal’s “1st Born Second”, “Love For Sale” and “Airtight’s Revenge”, alongside the debut of his incredible “Humility” — and even “Funky For You” from Common’s “Like Water For Chocolate”. 25+ years of friendship was obvious as much in their laughter between songs as it was within their unspoken musical chemistry.
