South African-born Adam Glasser returns to Sheffield with his latest quartet, featuring top British jazz musicians, including acclaimed British guitarist Ant Law.
A leading exponent of South African township jazz, Adam is widely regarded as one of Europe’s leading jazz chromatic harmonica players.
A virtuoso on the instrument, as well as a fluent and impressive jazz pianist, his playing is eloquent, subtle and constantly inventive.
Adam’s unique sound combines his South African roots with many years immersed in the UK jazz scene, working with SA legends such as Dudu Pukwana and Hugh Masekela and performing internationally with the likes of Sting, Joe Zawinul and the Eurythmics
