The Mike del Ferro - Podcast

23 Echoes of Toots Thielemans: Adam Glasser from South Africa / UK.

Mike del Ferro - Pianist & World Traveler Episode 23

Adam Glasser: Jazz Harmonica, South African Grooves & Musical Adventures!

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Adam Glasser, a musician whose chromatic harmonica playing bridges the worlds of bebop, township jazz, and global fusion. Born in South Africa and based in the UK, Adam has carved out a unique voice, drawing inspiration from the legendary Toots Thielemans while forging his own musical path.

We dive into his fascinating journey, from working with icons like Sting, Joe Zawinul, and Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) to exploring the deep grooves of South African jazz. Adam shares personal stories about his collaborations, his influences, and much more.
