Noted jazz musician, author and educator Daniel Glass leads participants on a thrilling journey that spans more than 100 years, beginning with the brass bands of the Civil War (1865), moving through ragtime, jazz, big band swing, bebop, and rhythm and blues, and concluding with modern styles like rock’n’roll, funk and hip-hop.

Praise for Daniel’s Presentations …

Daniel Glass was incredible! I can see why he is a noted drummer in the world. The guy has so much rhythm it leaks out of his pores. He wasn’t just hitting the drums in time; there was something about what he played that was magical.  Our kids were so impressed and inspired
