Imagine Led Zeppelin and Radiohead tinged with a high dosage of blues and soul… Well for those that don’t remember, this is what Questlove, Robert Glasper and a crew of other heavy-duty bandsmen offered when they performed as Bilal and The Witness Protection Program at Okayplayer’s Holiday Celebration a few years back.
Finally Questlove has posted up the entire set on his SwiftFM page for all to indulge in. This all seems very timely as alongside Glasper, Bilal has been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance and there’s word that he will also finally be releasing his sophomore effort sometime early this year.
With Mayer Hawthorne and soon to come Bilal, Sade and Gil Scott-Heron, I wonder if 2010 will be the year that represents the revival of soul music.
Thanx to Questlove for making the entire set available… Baby Since I’ve Been Loving You/Everything In It’s Right Place/Sometimes (Live). Click here to check it out.
