Alan Glasscock Orchestra

Active since: December 26

Alan Glasscock began his interest in big band and swing music while still in elementary school, listening to such artists as The Andrews Sisters and Glenn Miller, even at that young age. After taking up the piano, Glasscock attended the prestigious Arts Magnet High School in Dallas, TX. He recalls that many of his music instructors at that school were frustrated at his interest in jazz, as opposed to the standard Classical repertoire they insisted on. He certainly preferred boogie-woogie to Beethoven and Brahms! The same type of scenario paralleled Glenn Miller's head-butting with the Army Air Force's "old guard;" Miller wanted to play more modern music for our troops in the WW2 days besides the standard faire of Sousa marches
