Terry Tuck Hailing from the most enviable and historic musical city in the world dubbed "Hitsville USA," this self-taught musician began his musical career on the trumpet. As his love of music began to develop, Terry added piano, and rhythm guitar to his skill set. The last instrument learned was bass guitar, but quickly became his instrument of choice. In his early career Terry was bass player for various R&B; groups down at Detroit's "Hitsville" USA in the early Motown years. It was there that he met former Motown engineer John Lewis who later trained him to become a recording engineer and songwriter. After Mr. Lewis opened "The Sound Suite" recording studio Terry began as engineer for some of the Detroit's most memorable artists in Gospel and Secular music. Terry's experiences as a bass player for contemporary Christian, gospel, and R&B; artists are all uniquely interwoven into his distinctive sound which he calls "breaking the rules jazz." In 2003, Terry was introduced to Wayman Tisdale. Wayman mentored, encouraged, and evaluated his music becoming the catalyst, which convinced him to release his first CD. "Eternal Life" is dedicated to him. "Desert Wind" features Terry on five, six string, a modified piccolo bass and piano.

Inspired to play piano by his mother, a gospel pianist and vocalist, Glasper attended Houston's High School for the Performing Arts. After graduation, he studied music at the New School University in Manhattan, where he found performance work with such luminaries as bassist Christian McBride, saxophonist Kenny Garrett, and others. After graduating college, Glasper worked with a variety of artists, including trumpeter Roy Hargrove, vocalist Carly Simon, and rapper Mos Def. The pianist released his debut album, Mood, on Fresh Sound New Talent in 2004. Canvas and In My Element followed in 2005 and 2007, respectively, on Blue Note Records. In 2009, Glasper released the forward-thinking album Double Booked, which featured a mix of modal post-bop and funky, '80s Herbie Hancock-inspired numbers with two separate bands. The first of these was his trio with drummer Chris Dave and upright bassist Vicente Archer; they recorded five originals and a cover of Thelonious Monk's "Think of One." These tracks were followed by five more originals by his electric band, dubbed the Robert Glasper Experiment, featuring Dave, electric bassist Derrick Hodge, and Casey Benjamin on saxes and vocoder. In 2012, the Robert Glasper Experiment (with a slew of all-star guest vocalists) issued their first stand-alone album, Black Radio, for Blue Note, which sought to blur boundaries between jazz, hip-hop, R&B;, and rock & roll; it entered the Billboard jazz charts at number one. Later in the year, Glasper and Blue Note released Black Radio Recovered: The Remix EP; 9th Wonder, Georgia Anne Muldrow, and Pete Rock were among those who participated. In 2013, the Robert Glasper Experiment (now including Hodge and Benjamin with drummer Mark Colenburg) returned with their equally star-studded sophomore album, Black Radio 2.
