Glen David Andrews articulates the deep musical heritage of the city of New Orleans while keeping one foot planted in the more contemporary, funky sounds of today's brass bands. The other foot rests firmly on the time-honored tradition of his elders; legends such as Anthony "Tuba Fats" Lacen, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton. In New Orleans jazz is not just a type of music, but a way of life. No singular artist stands taller or prouder in representing the city's deep musical heritage than Glen David Andrews. He is one of the most amazing vocalists alive today -- his billowing baritone is like a horn instrument itself -- and he is an incredible entertainer. He sanctifies, electrifies, hellafies. If you weren't dancing at this show you were dead. John Nova Lomax - Houston Press “Aside from being a great musician, Glen David has absorbed a fading tradition. He's a link for his generation to something important. But he also has a rare enthusiasm and energy that makes it all special and exciting for even casual listeners.” Ben Jaffe - Preservation Hall
