Dave Glasser: Above The Clouds
by Mike Neely
Alto saxophonist Dave Glasser may not be widely known in the world of jazz, but that will change in time. Above the Clouds provides all the evidence one would need to acknowledge that an important new voice is on the scene.

Dave Glasser: Above The Clouds
by AAJ Italy Staff
Per redarre le note di copertina, si è scomodato uno dei decani (Ira Gitler) della critica jazz statunitense, che le lodi di un disco non eccelso. Un debole elemento di distinzione di Dave Glasser risiede nel non uniformarsi al timbro parkeriano, per guardare soprattutto a Benny Carter e Johnny Hodges.Varie e prestigiose sono le ...
Greg Smith: Above the Clouds
by C. Michael Bailey
Guitarist/composer/educator Greg Smith attempts an ambitious synthesis within adult contemporary jazz intended to jettison his jazz vision from the maudlin confines of what passes for “smooth jazz today. Smith is not satisfied with the cliché throbbing synthesizers and intellectually deprived virtuosity plaguing the majority of jazz ostensibly intended for greater crossover appeal. Smith's approach is successful ...

Glasser's group includes pianist Larry Ham and the veteran rhythm section of bassist Dennis Irwin and drummer Carl Allen. I had the pleasure of hearing Glasser (along with ...
Greg Smith: Above The Clouds
by Michael P. Gladstone
One of the oddities in musical categorization has been the establishment of the New Age and smooth jazz (aka contemporary jazz) genres. Although they originally represented very different branches of popular music, the distinction has continued to blur over the decades. Originally, New Age music was established by musicians and entrepreneurs like Will Ackerman, ...
Dave Glasser: Above The Clouds
by Dan McClenaghan
Dave Glasser blows a sweet-sounding alto saxophone, and he swings hard and gets down into the blues on this quartet recording, which brings past alto masters Johnny Hodges and Benny Carter to mind. It's in the beautifully lyrical story telling of an alto horn in front of a fluid, subtle rhythm team.Glasser has played ...
