Released in 1976 on Fantasy Records, Reachin' is the sole leader date from Roger Glenn, a versatile multi-instrumentalist who spent much of his career as a sought-after sideman on some of jazz's most celebrated recordings. The album finds Glenn stepping into the spotlight and delivering a sound that sits at a compelling crossroads of Latin jazz, cosmic funk, and late-'70s fusion.
What makes Reachin' such a captivating listen is its range — from clean, groove-driven jazz-funk to deeply rooted Afro-Cuban rhythms, complete with chant and percussion that give the record genuine cultural depth. Glenn proves throughout that he can phrase lyrically and improvise freely, making this a fully realized artistic statement from a musician who deserved far more time in the lead chair.
