R+R=NOW is World pop music event held in Japan.
The work of Robert Glasper and Terrace Martin can be found across the musical landscape.
The men have contributed to music by Quincy Jones, Kendrick Lamar, Common, Kanye West, Mos Def and Q-Tip, to name just a few, and now they've teamed up with jazz trumpeter Christian Scott, bassist Derrick Hodge, drummer Justin Tyson and multi-instrumentalist Taylor McFerrin to form R+R=NOW, a band packed with influence from multiple musical genres, including jazz, soul, R&B and hip-hop.
According to Glasper, R+R NOW tells "our story from our point of view. Everybody's sound is so different, but we all come from the same concrete garden. Its a very honest, fluid sound that rings of hip-hop, EDM, jazz, at times -- hell -- reggae ... a bunch of cats that respect each other so much that we always pass the ball."
R+R=NOW stands for Reflect+Respond=NOW, so named by Glasper after being inspired by late soul singer Nina Simone, who said an artist's duty is to reflect the times.

Taylor McFerrin (born June 29) is an American DJ, music producer, keyboardist & beatboxer based in Brooklyn, NY. He is the eldest son of popular vocalist and classical conductor Bobby McFerrin.
Taylor's musical style is equally influenced by the legends of 60's / 70's Soul, the kings of the Modern Beat Generation, Golden Era hip hop, free form jazz and electronic music. By playing all of the instruments on his productions, while also relying heavily on sampling and chopping up his live takes, he has found a sound that bridges myriad musical worlds that draws the listener into a constantly shifting beautiful audio soundscape.
Taylor's ability to create and evolve music by drawing inspiration from all corners of his life translates into a sound that evokes feeling and an innovative live set that is equal parts wonderment and musical dexterity.

Tokyo (Japanese: [toːkjoː] , English /ˈ t oʊ k i . oʊ / ), officially Tokyo Metropolis, is the capital of Japan and one of its 47 prefectures. The Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. It is the seat of the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Formerly known as Edo, it has been the de facto seat of government since 1603 when Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters. It officially became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from the old capital of Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo. Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府 , Tōkyō-fu) and the city of Tokyo (東京市 , Tōkyō-shi) .

In the 11th century, the city was renamed Kyoto ("capital city"), after the Chinese word for capital city, jingdu (京都 ). In Japanese, the city has been called Kyō (京 ), Miyako (都 ), or Kyō no Miyako (京の都 ). Kyoto (京都市 , Kyōto-shi, pronounced [kʲjoːtoꜜɕi] ; UK /k ɪ ˈ oʊ t oʊ / , US /k i ˈ oʊ - / , or /ˈ k j oʊ - / ) is a city located in the central part of the island of Honshu, Japan.
