I found this mp3 of Bilal singing on Led Zeppelin‘s Since I’ve Been Loving You & Radiohead‘s Everything in its Right Place, on the blog Moovmnt. It was in 2007 but I never had the audio of it, I’ve seen some videos. My dad loves Led Zeppelin so I grew up on this kind of music, it’s just so good to hear Bilal’s voice on it (adding some “fucking” or taking out some words as he likes to do lol) especially with a great band like this – ?uestlove (Drums), Cap’n Kirk (Guitar), Tuba Gooding Jr (Sousaphone), Owen Biddle (Bass), James Poyser (Organ), Robert Glasper (Keys). I LOVE how the 3 songs are link together, the transition between the Radiohead’s song and “Sometimes” is perfect + the groovy moment is killing me!

Robert Glasper is a pianist that plays a lot with Bilal (signed now on Plug research) during his show (Also with Q-Tip or Maxwell). As they both live in New York and they went in the same jazz school, they play a lot together + often with Chris Dave on drums. I’ve seen them a lot when I was in New York and I really miss it, going to a Robert Glasper and Chris Dave show or to a Bilal show with a great band.
They were in London for the London Jazz Festival and so Gilles Peterson interviewed them, funny interview, very natural.

Robert Glasper est un pianist originaire de NY qui est souvent le pianiste de Bilal lors de ses concerts + Chris Dave à la batterie. Robert Glasper joue aussi en live avec Maxwell ou Q-Tip. J’ai vu Robert Glasper très souvent à New York que ce soit pour des concerts de Jazz en trio basse, piano et batterie ou comme musicien pour Bilal. Ils étaient donc au London Jazz Festinal, Gilles Peterson en a profité pour une interview.
