About Me |
|
| Multi-instrumentalist Glenn Shambroom has explored a wide range of roots music and jazz styles over the last thirty years. Originally from New Jersey, he spent the 70's and 80's working as a guitarist in country and rock & roll bands (primarily with John Lincoln Wright of Boston). By 1985, his focus had shifted to saxophone, and he worked as a tenor and bari sax player in soul and r&b bands. Shambroom has played guitar and bari sax with the Boston band The Love Dogs as a founding member since 1994. The Love Dogs have released four cds of blues, funk, rock & roll, and swing on the ToneCool label, while taking their high energy, good-time brand of r&b on the road throughout the US, Canada, and Europe. Glenn's schedule of live gigs with The Love Dogs can be found at thelovedogs.com. In addition to his work with The Love Dogs, Shambroom has released three well received cds of his own: MAKE ROOM FOR SNAPPY (2000), INCLUDE ME OUT (2003), and BAND MATH (2006). Blues Revue Magazine called MAKE ROOM FOR SNAPPY "... an impressive collection of nine energetic sax instrumentals... a beautifully crafted project." Cadence Magazine called it "Snappy from start to finish." JazzReview said "Strong compositions, solid ensemble work, and impressive solos make INCLUDE ME OUT a straight-ahead standout." AllAboutJazz wrote "INCLUDE ME OUT will win you over with boppish swing and smartly crafted arrangements. With his confident swing, shifting arrangements and strong compositions, Shambroom has managed to create a record that is both intelligent and fun." Metronome Magazine wrote "No matter how you punch the numbers, BAND MATH comes up jazzy, swingin' and soulful. Shambroom exhibits an unusual flair to his songwriting, being both a horn player and guitarist. With influences that range from Oliver Nelson and Billy Strayhorn to Jimi Hendrix and Chet Atkins, you're going to get a mixed bag of interesting sounds when Shambroom puts pen to paper." IndieMusic.com called BAND MATH "... a unique, hip-swingin', head swayin' romp through various eras of jazz... it's crackling and popping with energy..." Cadence Magazine wrote of BAND MATH "Shambroom is an agile improviser on guitar and the soprano saxophone, but where he really excels is on the burly baritone sax. Glenn Shambroom should make many more friends with this listener friendly disc." Skope Magazine said "The jazzy style you'll admire in this disc is timeless and hip... BAND MATH flows with ease from slow and chill to punchy and vibrant... the perfect chic jazz album that both diehard traditionalists and modern hipsters will adore." BAND MATH, MAKE ROOM FOR SNAPPY, and INCLUDE ME OUT are all available at CDBaby. | |
