Robert Glasper & Erykah Badu - Afro Blue (Mongo Santamaria & John Coltrane Cover)

DateFriday, January 6, 2012 at 8:53PM

Originally composed by Mongo Santamaria and made famous by John Coltrane, 'Afro Blue' is a bonafide jazz classic. 2012 sees Robert Glasper and Erykah Badu place their own unique spin on this classic for Glasper's upcoming album, Black Radio. RG: "Erykah loves flutes, so I arranged this song with flutes in it. This song was recorded during the time she was on the Rock The Bells tour. Luckily she was able to come in and do the song".
