Album Review: Miles Davis & Robert Glasper - Everything's Beautiful

This collection of 'reimagined interpretations' of arguably jazz music's greatest figure will never find its way into mainstream consciousness, but for jazz and house music aficionados anything with Robert Glasper's name on it will have them frothing at the mouth.

While Glasper's commitment to Davis' legacy is unquestioned — he co-produced the Miles Ahead soundtrack — only similarly dedicated Davis trainspotters will recognise much on Everything's Beautiful that they can attribute to the master. Collaborations with Erykah Badu, Hiatus Kaiyote and Stevie Wonder, while enjoyable, further muddy the water, making it difficult to distinguish where the Davis influence begins and ends.
