O’s Notes: Roger Glenn is a coveted, multi-instrumentalist, and he showcases talent on vibraphone, flute, alto saxophone, marimba, and singing on My Latin Heart featuring his original compositions. It’s his first new release as a leader in 40 years! Glenn is surrounded by incredible talent: David K. Mathews (p), Ray Obiedo (g), David Belove (b), Paul Van Wageningen (d), and Derek Rolando (congas). John Santos and Michael Spiro add vocals/percussion on “Angola” and “Samba De Carnaval” (Spiro only). The result is a rich set of Latin jazz.
