With Robert Glasper on instrumentation accompanied by the soothing vocals of Erykah Badu, the bonafide jazz standard "Afro Blue" flows like a summer breeze with a fusion of Neo Soul and contemporary Jazz. Originally composed by Mongo Santamaria and made famous by John Coltrane, Robert Glasper and Erykah Badu place their spin on this classic for Glasper's upcoming album, Black Radio. Glasper says, 

"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.” 

 Robert Glasper's first single for "Black Radio is now available at iTunes and the full length album drops on Feb. 28th 2012. Thanks to BamaLoveSoul for the audio.
