Originally composed by Mongo Santamaria and made famous by John Coltrane, Afro Blue is a bonafide jazz standard. Robert Glasper and Erykah Badu place their spin on this classic on Glasper’s upcoming album, Black Radio.
“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.” – Glasper
