Roger Glenn - My Latin Heart (2025)

Roger Glenn mixes and matches his vibes, flute, alto sax, marimba and voice in various Latin environs with his team of David K. Mathews/p, Ray Obiedo/g, David Belove/b, Paul Van Wageningen/dr, Derek Rolando/cong and guests John Santos-Michael Spiro/voc-perc. His alto sax bops easy on the gliding “Brother Marshal” while his flue romantically ruminates with Belove” on A Night Of Love”. Vibes saunter on “Cal’s Guajria” and the optimistic “Energizer” while Spiro ads percussion to the festive “Samba De Carnival” an d Obiedo teams with Santos for a tribal jaunt on “Angola”.
