Dave Glenn- National Pastime (CD)
Trombonist Dave Glenn brings a top-flight band of New York artists together for a musical look at America's national pastime - baseball.

With a stellar horn line, including tenor saxophonist Rich Perry and Dave Scott on trumpet, Glenn leads the six-piece ensemble through eight tunes all collectively brought together with the help of producer and trombonist John Fedchock. The rhythm section of Gary Versace, John Hebert, and Jeff Hirshfield propel the group in this modern look at the heart of America.
