Biography

Early life

Glausi's initial fascination with music began at age four, often sitting at his family's piano, figuring out melodies by ear and eventually writing simple compositions. His mother and each of his four grandparents worked as professional musicians. His earliest memories include dancing to the music his parents put on in their living room.[1][5][6]

He picked up the trumpet at age ten, citing a love for the instrument's diverse tonal possibilities, as well as its look and feel. Primarily studying classical music until age 16, Glausi gained exposure to jazz while a student at West Linn High School under the tutelage of music director Kevin Egan.[5][2] He studied jazz performance and composition respectively as an undergraduate and later master's student at the University of Oregon in Eugene.[5][2][7]

Upon winning the 2017 Laurie Frink Career Grant, Glausi had the opportunity to be mentored by trumpeter Wynton Marsalis.[8]

Glausi relocated to New York City in 2018. During this time, he began touring with pianist and singer Peter Cincotti and a wide array of young rising jazz stars, including bassist Russell Hall, keyboardist Chris McCarthy, saxophonist Julian Lee, drummer Bryan Carter, pianist Emmet Cohen and many others.[5][8][12][3]
