Biography

Glenn Ferris started studying trombone at 8 and was playing in the Don Ellis Big Band at 16. In the late sixties/early seventies, while getting his musical degrees in Los Angeles Valley College and California Institute of Arts, he recorded with big names like Art Pepper, both Brecker brothers, The Beach Boys or Stevie Wonder. He also toured with Frank Zappa in 1972 (Grand Wazoo and Petit Wazoo tours) and 1975. In 1980, he moved to France and started to teach in several French universities while recording with the most famous European jazz musicians (too many to mention), as well as with his own bands.
