Glenn Crytzer Quartet at SBDAC Jan. 29

The 2020 – 2021 Jazzy Nights Concert Series brings on the rhythm with the Glenn Crytzer Quartet on Friday, Jan. 29 at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center is located at 2301 First St. in the historic downtown Fort Myers River District.
Glenn Crytzer is a New York City based bandleader, arranger, composer, guitarist and vocalist who is in love with the music of the jazz age and swing era. While completing his formal training in classical composition and cello at the Cleveland Institute of Music and Florida State University, Glenn took up dancing the Lindy Hop as a hobby.
Through the Lindy, his love of early jazz grew, but he lamented that there were so few musical groups that specialized in authentic performance of his favorite kind of music. Glenn decided to put his musical training to use, taught himself guitar, banjo, and jazz arranging, and set about bringing to life the music he loved.
Now in his mid 30s, Glenn has become a staple in New York City’s jazz scene as a guitarist and bandleader. He has released eight albums with his big band and combos and dozens of his recordings have been featured in films and TV shows seeking to evoke the sound of the golden age of radio. In 2017 his big band was named Best Group in New York in the NYC Jazz Awards.
General admission is $45 in advance, and $50 day of show. Cocktails start at 6:30 p.m., and the concert begins at 7:30 p.m.
