Re: Fantastic Jazz clarinetist- Frank Glover

I heard Frank and his quartet with Claude Sifferlen on February 13, 2008, at the DeHaan Auditorium in Indianapolis.

Frank and Claude were a Downbeat 5 star performance.

The bad news was that the bass player was amplified, the amp was set for boom and set on full volume. He totally covered up the clarinet/piano/drums.
There was no way that a person could do melodic dictation on what the bass played since the sound was so distorted.

Frank has outstanding technique. He has great range and control.

His performance in New Orleans was pulled down by a local trio that was not up to the chordal structure that Frank plays.

It is unfortunate that this kind of talent is unknown to most of the jazz community.
