Glenn Cashman is bi-coastal, dividing his time between 女人吧视频 and Southern California. A visible presence on the SoCal jazz scene, the saxophonist/composer leads a nonet, big band, quartet, and as an organist, fronts a trio. 鈥淚鈥檝e Got Your Rhythm鈥 his first CD as a leader, placed him in the company of jazz luminaries Kenny Barron, Ray Drummond and Ben Riley. As tenor saxophonist with Luther Hughes & the Cannonball-Coltrane Project, Cashman performed on/composed for the group鈥檚 four highly touted CD projects. LA Pianist Tom Ranier and Glenn collaborated on an intimate duo CD, 鈥淏lue In Green鈥 and co-led an engaging sextet project 鈥淏right Idea,鈥 also showcasing Bob McChesney, Bob Sheppard, Luther Hughes and Kendall Kay. From 2005-17, Glenn served as Founding Artistic Director of the Muckenthaler Jazz Festival, a six-event summer series held in Fullerton, CA.
Recent highlights include five trips to Japan to perform and teach, a live CD recording with drummer Paul Kreibich鈥檚 鈥淭hank You Elvin鈥 project (2018) at the famous Lighthouse Caf茅 in Hermosa Beach, CA with fellow saxophonists Doug Webb, Jeff Ellwood and bassist Chris Colangelo. In 2015, Glenn recorded as tenor saxophonist for the debut release of Bill Warfield鈥檚 NYC based 鈥淗ell鈥檚 Kitchen Funk Orchestra.鈥
Glenn Cashman & the Southland Big Band resemble not so much the historic ensembles listed above, but rather a group in which the composer made a point of writing for his individual soloists and giving them space to play; a band such as, say, Duke Ellington鈥檚 orchestra. Is there a higher compliment than that comparison?...

Cashman starts his Trane Remembered with a muscular soliloquy that sets the mood for a lovely ballad. Infused with a blues connotation, the piece highlights the tenor saxophonist's Trane influence. Deep, mesmerizing strings of linked phrases flow from the horn with fluid ease.
