Robert Gluck

[1] Raised in New York as a conservatory student and political activist, Gluck spent many years away from music, leading a life as a rabbi.

Bob Gluck's return to composing electronic music in 1995 and to the piano in 2005 marked a new beginning in his unusual career.

With influences as diverse as Herbie Hancock, Jimi Hendrix, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, Gluck has discovered a way to marry interests in electronic music with his love of jazz.

Karl Ackermann (All About Jazz) has written: “As a composer and player, Gluck ranks with the likes of Andrew Hill and Cecil Taylor… Something Quiet is completely original, artistically spontaneous, and intellectually challenging.”[5] Allan Kozinn (New York Times) wrote that Gluck is "an accomplished jazz pianist" who played with "virtuosic fluidity.

"[6] Keyboard magazine named him June 2009 “Unsigned Artist of the Month.” Gluck's musical collaborators have included reed players Kinan Azmeh, Andrew Sterman, Joe Giardullo and Ras Moshe; bassists Christopher Dean Sullivan, Ken Filiano, and Michael Bisio; drummers Tani Tabbal, Billy Hart, Karl Latham, and Dean Sharp; computer musician/composer Neil Rolnick; and digital visual artist Cynthia Beth Rubin.
