Thanks for sharing your music. ~ Juergen Kramer, Radio ZuSa Germany
“Having over twenty five years in the guitar biz, Steve Glotzer is fully qualified to produce a must have album for music aficionados of surreal bebop, breezy sambas, conga driven wanderlust and sophisticated urban blues.” ~ Roger Gillies, KGNU
“Of all the CDs that have been presented to me over the years “Life Imitates art” is by far on top of the heap. The ten tunes exhibit a warm sweet tone, yet with plenty of tension. Steve has managed to achieve an extraordinary blend in the musicians that he has surrounded himself with.” ~ Michelle Mobley, Sugardaddy Jazz and Blues News
Additionally – I also perform with Soul Sacrifice, A Tribute to Santana
“With great passion and precision, Soul Sacrifice faithfully recreates the music of the legendary band Santana. Featuring burning renditions of Latin-infused rock classics such as Oye Como Va, Black Magic Woman, Jingo and Soul Sacrifice; plus breathtaking delivery of guitar ballads
including Europa and Samba Pa Ti, Soul Sacrifice captures and delivers up the signature multi-cultural sound and spirit that is Santana.”
