​​Tom Glenn Music

After spending the last 20 years in the Boston Area, I recently returned to my hometown of Philadelphia. It's been a pleasure to reconnect with the Philly music scene! I've recently had the opportunity to perform and record with old friends and new-all of whom are incredibly talented and supportive in a way unique to this area!

I recently finished the jazz CD entitled “SHUFFLE TIME”. It features mostly original compositions and some fabulous players: Tom Adams (Piano), Andy Lalasis (Bass), Grant MacAvoy (Drums), Denis DiBlasio (Bari-Sax/Flute) and Tony DeSantis (Trumpet/Flugelhorn). 

We recorded the CD directly to tape at RADScape Studios owned by Randy Weaver.  Now I'm a believer—tape definitely provides a true and “warmer” sound-especially if the session is recorded by an artist of Randy's caliber.

I also just completed the 4th CD with a former student and consummate guitarist Stu Goodis (Goodis and Glenn) entitled “New Song”. This is comprised of 12 original Jazz Guitar Duets that range from Latin to straight ahead and even blues shuffle styles.  Please visit the Goodis and Glenn page on this site for more information.

Since retiring from Roland Corporation as New England District Sales Manager, I have returned to devoting all of my time to performing, composing and producing music.

I am continuing to reach out to old and new musical friends in the Philly area while maintaining bonds with my New England associates-particularly on Cape Cod.

I've been invited to perform a CD Release Concert for the JAZZ BRIDGE Organization in January. This is a magnificent group that helps to support Jazz musicians in need headed by Suzanne Cloud and Wendy Simon. Please check out their website.

It's also great to be back in Pat Martino's town! He has inspired me for as long as I've attempted to master my instrument!

Onward and Upward!!! I thank our Higher Spirit for sharing a little bit of the Creative Light that keeps us searching for the TRUTH! 

I am also eternally grateful to my wife Kathy Anderson Glenn for her unending support and inspiration.
