In October 2018, Robert Glasper settled into New York's Blue Note Jazz Club for a month-long residency, including a few nights with the new dream team collective R + R = NOW. Glasper played keyboards, Terrace Martin on synthesizer, vocoder, and alto saxophone, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah on trumpet, Derrick Hodge on bass, Taylor McFerrin on synthesizer, and Justin Tyson on drums. The band had recently released their debut album, "Collagically Speaking," and the music had already taken on a new dimension during the concerts. This is evident on this live recording, which includes songs from the studio album such as "Change of Tone" and "Resting Warrior," as well as a cover of Kendrick Lamar's "How Much a Dollar Cost."
