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 Cadence magazine as “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.” Free Jazz Blog adds: “... 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.”
