b'Robert Glasper is the only artist to have an album debut in the top 10 of 4 different Billboard charts. He\'s a musical polymath whose resume ranges from Kendrick Lamar to Herbie Hancock. At the piano, he serves up jazz licks worthy of Mary Lou Williams before segueing into a Nirvana cover. Glasper brings his diverse skill set to bear on his latest project, the score for the HBO series Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, composed in collaboration with "Succession" soundtracker Nicholas Britell. It\'s not just Glasper\'s musical chops that made him the perfect candidate for the gig: in a past life, he was a baller himself. Nate spoke with Glasper about crafting the sound of the 1980s, improvising soundtrack themes on the spot, and what jazz and basketball have in common.\\n\\nSongs Discussed\\nRobert Glasper - Over, FTB, "Winning Time" and "The Photograph" Themes\\nNicholas Britell - "Succession" and "Moonlight" Themes\\nMorris Day and The Time - Get It Up\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
