Glenn Ferris born in Los
Angeles, played with Don Ellis innovative big band
when he was only 16. Ferris also played with Frank
Zappa, Stevie Wonder, Dave Frishberg, Billy
Cobham, Steve Lacy, Manu Dibango, Louis Sclavis, Michel
Portal and many others. He is a member of the now
sucessful group Palatino (with
Romano/Fresu/Benita). Critics say about Glenn Ferris :
"Ferris not only stands at the forefront of the
evolution of the Trombone but at the forefront of
today’s New Generation of Serious Creative
Musicians" (Down Beat) "This trio reveals in
Glenn Ferris a sort of Stan Getz of the trombone,
doubling as composer, arranger diabolically
cultivated" (Michel Contat) "from one end to
the other a warmth and an intimacy that one rarely finds
in a jazz production. Without doubt because the man has
imagination to spare" (Claude Carriere) El Pais
called his last recording "one of the most beautiful
and innovative records" Rolling Stone praised
Ferris: "...he is not only a virtuoso trombonist
with a velvety sound, the concept of a trio with
trombone, cello, bass has been realized with much
orginality and it takes your breath away." |
