Now this is something to be thankful for!

Bleeding-edge pianist and jazz composer Robert Glasper comes to Florida this weekend for what is certain to be a mind-melting three-night stand at Judson’s Live.

The prolific, Grammy-winning musician has released four albums over the last couple of years — including, because why not, a Christmas album, In December, which we hope he plays a number or two from — that redefine and yet respect the artform of jazz. And fresh off a residency at New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club, you’d better believe Glasper will show up fighting-fit.

If you have the coin, binge-attend all the gigs, Grateful Dead-style.

7 & 9 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 20-22, Judson’s Live, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $82-$117.
