Ensure your wedding, gala, corporate event, or private celebration is a truly extraordinary occasion with the unparalleled musical elegance of Glenn Crytzer. As a distinguished guitarist, vocalist, and musical director, Glenn leads New York's premier Jazz Age and Swing Era ensembles, offering everything from intimate trios and quartets perfect for cocktail receptions to a full big band ready to set alight dance floor at the most grandiose affairs.
What truly sets Glenn Crytzer's offerings apart is an unwavering commitment to the authentic sound and the genuine spirit of the era. This dedication means your guests won't just hear music; they'll be immersed in an ambiance that evokes the enchanting sophistication of a Fred Astaire film, the dazzling glamour of a Cole Porter premiere, or the sparkling charm and wit of a night at the Algonquin Round Table.
Through their performances, the celebrated works of composers like George Gershwin and Jerome Kern, and the signature sounds of legendary performers such as Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Artie Shaw, and Duke Ellington are brought to life with the same vitality and excitement as when they ruled America’s airwaves.
