Biography:

"great saxophone player." Los Angeles Jazz Scene

" you... have your own style and in my opinion it is a way many new players would like to play themselves." Howard Rumsey (Leader/bassist of the legendary Hermosa Beach "Lighthouse All-Stars")

"you are a world-class player and teacher." Gary Foster (top jazz and studio woodwind artist)

Glenn Cashman established himself as a topnotch performer and educator in the Southern California jazz community before accepting a position at Colgate University starting in Fall 2001. His free wheeling compositional approach to improvisation has its roots in the playing styles of Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter and John Coltrane. The Glenn Cashman Quartet appearances have been extremely well received and have garnered critical acclaim in the monthly Los Angeles Jazz Scene. The quartet features the first-class swinging guitar of Ron Eschete, premium bassist Luther Hughes, and the inventive and in-demand drumming of Paul Kreibich. The rhythm section toured for many years with pianist Gene Harris and can be heard on numerous recordings on the Concord label.

In 2002, Glenn will be releasing a solo saxophone CD with jazz greats Kenny Barron, Ray Drummond and Ben Riley featuring several of his compositions. He has also performed with Dennis Chambers, Claudio Roditi, Gary Foster, Paul Bollenback, Tom Ranier, Drew Gress, Jim Pugh, Jeff Littleton, George Colligan, Tony Martucci, Tony Bennett, Stevie Wonder, The Central New York Jazz Orchestra, Rob McConnell, Gap Mangione and many others. Glenn has appeared in jazz club and concert venues in Russia, Sweden, Australia, the East Coast and Southern California.

From 1992-99 Glenn was Director of Jazz Studies at Towson University (TU) in Baltimore. He led the ensemble to consecutive First-place finishes in the Villanova Jazz Festival. Both CDs he produced with the TU Jazz Ensemble were cited by the International Association of Jazz Educators as among the top campus ensemble CDs of 1999 & 1996 in their "Blue-Chip Awards." He was Jazz Director at Cal State Fullerton from 1999-2001.

Glenn is available as a guest soloist, as part of the Ranier/Cashman duo with superlative pianist Tom Ranier, and with the Glenn Cashman Quartet. His conducting/clinic credits include the Southern California Band Director's Association Honor Jazz Band, Delaware All-State Jazz Ensemble, and International Association for Jazz Education Conference.

In 1999, Glenn earned a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Composition from the University of Maryland, College Park. (Fall 2002)
