Hailed by The New York Times as “an excellent young pianist notable for both his harmonic insight and his rhythmic composure,” Massachusetts native Glenn Zaleski has made a New York name for himself playing with the likes of Ravi Coltrane, Lage Lund, and Ari Hoenig. Glenn has captivated audiences in performance with his own trio; with the collectives Stranahan/Zaleski/Rosato, and the Melissa Aldana / Glenn Zaleski Sextet, and as a key sideman in groups led by violinist Tomoko Omura, and bassist/vocalist Katie Thiroux. My Ideal, the pianist’s debut recording as a leader, was released on Sunnyside in March 2015 and praised by Downbeat as “sublime” and by Jazz Times as “an engaging set by a talent worth watching.” Tonight, the spotlight is on the release of Glenn Zaleski’s second Sunnyside CD, Fellowship. It features bassist Dezron Douglas and drummer Craig Weinrib on a blend of original tunes and a few insightfully arranged standards, such as John Coltrane’s “Central Park West.” Filling in for Dezron Douglas will be legendary bassist Rufus Reid, in whose group Glenn fills the piano chair.
