SoundSwap - Glenn Crytzer Quartet Plays the Music of 1926

Glenn Crytzer is a New York City-based bandleader, guitarist, songwriter, arranger, banjoist, and vocalist, celebrated for bringing the Jazz Age and Swing Era to life with unparalleled authenticity. For today's program, Glenn and his quartet will be performing a set of songs from 1926 - one hundred years ago! 

Glenn’s orchestra and combos have appeared at festivals, performing arts centers, dances, and clubs across the US including iconic venues such as Lincoln Center, the Rainbow Room, the USS Intrepid, the Django, the Redwood Coast Music Festival, the Century Ballroom, the Mob Museum, and many more. His original music has also been performed by the Ann Arbor and Wheeling Symphony Orchestras.

Crytzer’s original music and covers of classics are in demand for TV and Film with more than 100 placements in productions for Disney, Marvel, Hulu, Netflix, WB, and numerous others. In 2017, the Glenn Crytzer Orchestra was honored with the award for Best Group in New York by the NYC Jazz Awards.
