Roger Glenn/Latin Jazz Flute and Vibraphone

Recognized as one of the master flute and vibraphone players of the world, this New York City native got his start listening to his father, Tyree Glenn, play trombone and vibraphone with Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, and Louis Armstrong. By performing with his father, he was able to hone his skills and create his own sound. Later, he expanded his talents by playing the sax, clairnet, and oboe, and he continues to compose, and perform songs that make you want to hear more. Aside from being a stellar solo artist with his own group, Roger has performed with such giants of Jazz and Latin music as Dizzy Gillespie, Mongo Santamaria, Herbie Mann, Cal Tjader and Rosemary Clooney.
