Having an extremely diverse set of
influences from classical and contemporary genres has shaped his approach
to the bass from a support function to that of melodic and sonic exploration.
Drawing heavily from modern electric bassists such as Tony Levin, Mark
King, Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, Pino Palladino, John Entwistle, Paul
McCartney, Marcus Miller, and Jaco Pastorious has led Glenn to strive
for continued expansion of the role of bass in all of his collaborative
efforts.
