by Raul d'Gama Rose
Opening is an album so rich in the intricacies of melody that it never fails to surprise at every turn. The saddest aspect of the album is that it is all too short. But the biggest surprise of all is Carol Morgan, a trumpeter who seems to have awakened the urge to find parallels in phrasing ...
Alto Saxophonist Dave Glasser Charts on His 3rd Jazz Chart
Glasser has been described by Nat Hentoff in this way; “Having heard Glasser primarily in the context of other bands, I was not prepared for the original quality of his composing and arranging.
