Richard Glasser

Motown recording artist, Richard Glasser started writing at the tender age of 14... and has never looked back. His songs have been recorded by some of the music industry's top artists, such as Stevie Wonder, Vicki Carr, Anne Murray, Vic Damone and Bobby Sherman. Glasser's scores have been utilized by such notables as Burt Reynolds, Carol Burnett, Clint Eastwood, Diahann Carroll, Ed McMahon, Dick Clark, Debbie Reynolds, Doc Severinson, Joey Heatherton and many others.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Richard started piano lessons at age 4, studying everything from classical to jazz and while still at Hollywood High, was chosen to perform at the Hollywood Bowl with the All-City Orchestra.

Since then, he has arranged, conducted, and played for such artists as Diahann Carroll, Joey Heatherton, Beverly Bremers and Robin Wilson.

Richard has mastered many instruments besides the piano and all electric keyboards, such as flute (which he studied with the famous Paul Horn), electric bass, drums and various horns. He uses this combination of talents in a unique and inventive way when performing as a solo.

Walfredo Reyes Jr.

Few drummers playing today can successfully combine the rich history of Latin, Afro-Cuban and World Percussion with the drum set. For Walfredo Reyes Jr., fusing the two disciplines has been his driving passion. In fact, by blazing this path, Reyes has challenged the technical levels of our instrument.

Born in Cuba, raised in Puerto Rico and culminating his musical style in the U.S., Wally (Walfredo Jr.) learned the traditions from the master, his father Walfredo Sr. He married those principles with his love of the drum set, coming up with his own truly global rhythmic style. Simply put, Wally is able to sound like a drummer and a percussionist at the same time. Add blistering chops and a penchant for playing unusual patterns to the mix, and you have only a small idea of what this man can do... more

Oskar Cartaya

Don't try to categorize Oskar Cartaya, he's always been willing to meet a challenge and conquer musical genres. He can deliver funky, reverberating underpinnings or melodic classicism, switch from a Latin tumbao to rhythm-and-blues licks at a moment's notice. His versatility makes him a much requested sideman, innovative soloist and imaginative producer/arranger. His latest effort is "Passion Dance," the new album by trumpeter Herb Alpert, on which Cartaya collaborated with Alpert to produce and co-write the CD. Alpert's 1997 "Passion Dance" world tour introduced a wider audience to the scope of Cartaya's talent.

Born in New York City and raised in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Cartaya was determined to become a professional athlete like his grandfather, Raul Alvarez, who played baseball for a Cuban team. "Then one day when I was ten, I woke up and told everyone I was going to be a musician," he recalls. "I don't know why --- nobody in my family has an ear. I guess I was just hypnotized by music... more
