Tony Glausi holds a Saturday night residency at So & So's — and two of those Saturdays this month are his. He is a trumpeter, vocalist, composer, and bandleader who grew up in a multi-generational musical family in Portland, Oregon, came to New York, and made it his. Faculty at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music for seven years. Eight albums. Top honors in major international trumpet competitions. Performances at the Montreux, Seoul, and Java Jazz Festivals, and Blue Note clubs worldwide, alongside Peter Cincotti, Big Daddy Kane, Remy Le Boeuf, and Sean Mason.

Craig Cloutier witnessed something at So & So's worth preserving: a group of women began singing Happy Birthday to their friend mid-set. Tony and his quartet wove the melody into the improvisation so subtly and masterfully that the room didn't notice until it was already inside them. When the women finally realized, every face lit up like a birthday candle. That is Tony Glausi — a musician so completely present that he takes whatever the room gives him and makes it more beautiful than it was before.

Two Saturdays. Come to one. Come to both.
