Glenn Ferris
Glenn Ferris was born in 1950 in Hollywood, California. He
began
classical music trombone studies at 8 years old in Los Angeles.
From
1964, in addition to his classical studies, he studied jazz
improvisation
with the well-known trumpeter/composer Don Ellis. In 1972 he
finished
his studies at the California Institute of the Arts.
His studies did not prevent the professional musical world from
calling
him forth from the age of16 years old. At this age Glenn was
performing
with the prestigious Don Ellis Big Band as well as performing
and
recording with other musical formations. The group "Revival" was
co-
founded with Glenn and trumpeter/composer Jack Walrath. Then
Glenn
put together the "Celebration Orchestra," which featured some of
the
most creative musicians in Los Angeles.
Besides creating his own groups, Glenn was in demand by major
artists
to perform and be a featured soloist in their groups: Frank
Zappa, Tim
Buckley, Harry James, Billy Cobham and Bobby Bradford among
others.
He also performed and recorded with such artists as George Duke,
Philly
Joe Jones, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, John Scofield and Art
Pepper.
Since 2000, Glenn Ferris has been an artist-in-residence in the
jazz
department at the prestigious Conservatoire National Superieur
de
Musique et de Danse of Paris.

Paris.
Vincent has played the cello and electric bass in many African

is
one of the very rare few who can convincingly voyage into
various
musical worlds with the cello. Vincent has been a loyal member
