In our inaugural episode, we speak with our great friend Jordan Glenn. Jordan Glenn is a drummer and composer based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In this episode, we talk to Jordan about his formative years. We discuss his bands Wiener Kids, and Beak. We talk about his composition work for those groups as well for dance companies including Liss Fain and Sharp & Fine. We also talk about his experience playing in other groups, such as the Fred Frith Trio.
Because we did not play any work samples during this podcast, we would highly recommend take a moment to listen to Jordan’s music, particularly if you are not familiar with it. Here are some links for Jordan’s website and music sites as well as some of the works by other artists that we discuss.
