Recognized as one of the master flute and vibraphone players of the world, he has expanded his talents by playing the sax, clairnet, and oboe, and he continues to compose, and perform songs that keep people feeling good and wanting to hear more. In addition to being a solo artist with his own group, he has also performed with such giants of Jazz and Latin music as: Dizzy Gillespie, Mongo Santamaria, Herbie Mann, and Rose Mary Clooney, just to name a few. Whether he is performing a concert in Montreux Switzerland, at the Greek Theater in Berkeley California, or on a recording that you are listening to at home, your insides dance to the great musical energy this artist is able to create. This New York City born and raised Latin Jazz master got his start listening to his father, Tyree Glenn, play trombone and vibraphone with Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, and Louis Armstrong. Roger was later able to perform with his father to perfect the skills necessary to create his own sound that makes him a great solo artist. Now living in the San Francisco Bay Area, Roger spends part of his time performing on the West Coast and the rest of his time concertizing in Europe.
