Michael Anthony, who has served as the main curator for THEMpeople for a couple years has played more of a behind the scenes role. You’ve probably heard his vocals on a couple features, and you’ve probably seen some of his video work (if you’re up on the underground Chicago scene) and didn’t know it, and [...]

Robert Glasper just doesn’t ever disappoint…like ever. Uniting with Chantae Cann in Atlanta, the duo give us their amazing version of Michael Jackson’s “I Can’t Help It”. If live music and jazz and/or R&B is your thing then get ready for an Eargasm.

Crazy to think that none of these guys are even 21 years old, yet they have the skills of seasoned musicians. Giving Jazz a youthful Hip [...]
