Goodis & Glenn release CD “Jazz Dance” on July 23, 2011.
It could be said that this project began 30 years ago as
a student-mentor relationship between Tom Glenn and Stu
Goodis while Tom was teaching at the Neupauer Conservatory
in Philadelphia. This lasting friendship and their common desire
to create fresh, original music brought “Jazz Dance” to life in
2011.
Their combined repertoire and collaboration on original
songs brings the past and the present into the future with
this project. Stu’s original tune, “Thirty Years,” composed in
1982 and completed in 2011, documents the time line of their
relationship. Their individual styles converge on the title song,
“Jazz Dance,” which fuses two musicians’ creative ideas into a
cohesive composition.
The intention of this CD is to bring music that honestly
expresses their dedication to the art of jazz performance,writing
and improvisation.
