Mark Colenburg has been laying down the drum track for Robert Glasper, and together they rocked the 34th annual Tri-C JazzFest with a concert at the Ohio Theatre. Then he was special guest at a Tri-C Alumni event at the Wyndham Hotel across the street.
Glasper’s album Black Radio won the 2013 Grammy for Best R&B album, and featured guests like Erykah Badu, Lupe Fiasco, Stokley, Yaslin Bey, Bilal, Meshell Ndegeocello, Ledisi, Lalah Hathaway, Shafiq Husayn & others. The follow-up, Black Radio part Two will feature Colenburg on drums.
“This was our third time playing Cleveland, so we love Cleveland, Ohio. We can’t wait for the next time.”
Listen as we talk to Colenburg at a Tri-C and Friends Association alumni event right after his gig at the JazzFest.
