Biography


Born: January 27, 1955

Bob Gluck is a pianist, composer, educator and historical writer. His work spans jazz and electroacoustic music and everything in between. His current musical projects include the Bob Gluck Trio with Michael Bisio (bass) and Dean Sharp (drums), solo performances for piano and electronics, and The Synapse Brothers, a wild electronic and often funky ensemble with guitarist John Myers and recorded material by electronic music pioneer Patrick Gleeson. Bob Gluck also creates multimedia projects with digital visual artist Cynthia Beth Rubin; his current writing projects are about Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi Band (early 1970s) and Mort Subotnick and the founding of the Electric Circus. He was named June 2009 “Unsigned Artist of the Month” by Keyboard magazine. You can find mp3s of the Bob Gluck Trio at http://www.electricsongs.com/trio

Press Quotes

Eric Lawrence (Chronogram) describes Bob Gluck as “an accomplished and passionate pianist in the most elusive tradition of avant-garde masters Cecil Taylor, Andrew Hill, McCoy Tyner, and Don Pullen.” About 'Stories Heard and Retold', Michael Bergman wrote in the Berkshire Advocate: “The remarkable wave of sound overcomes the consciousness of the listener transporting him or her to another place...” The Bob Gluck Trio's premiere recording 'Sideways' (FMR 2008) was described by Hrayr Attarian (JazzTimes Community) as “a near classic work of art, one that will easily withstand the test of time and especially with the pristine sound of the CD will definitely reward repeated listenings.” Cadence magazine adds: it is “a potent first document of this expansive trio, with Gluck's open-ended compositions and those of others sparking the creative improvised explorations from all.” And Free Jazz Blog: “... a trio of three equal instruments creating a “total sound”, a broad listening experience, that does not need to rely on melody, but comes to its full effect when the musicians' creativity leads us into new territory... the trio' s version of 'Lonely Woman' is brilliant. Ornette Coleman's beautiful tune is fully in sync with the rest of the album's desperate tone, full of shattered hope, and deep longing for a better world. Great music. I truly hope to hear more from this trio in the future.”
