Georgia to Argentina is 5,015 miles and ten hours later I will be landing at Ministro Pistarini International Airport. Situated in Ezeiza about 20 miles from the city center, a forty minute cab ride will take me to the exclusive Recoleta neighborhood. The cool thing is I’ll be staying at the Meliá Recoleta Plaza Hotel and inside is the club, Jazz Voyeur. So it will be an elevator ride downstairs to hear some great music.

Daily Dose Of Jazz…
Bernie Glow was born on February 6, 1926 in New York, New York. During the Second World War while attending The High School of Music & Art he played in bands with Stan Getz, Tiny Khan, Shorty Rogers and George Wallington. Early on his influences were Snooky Young with the Jimmie Lunceford band, and Billy Butterfield with Benny Goodman.
At just sixteen and out of high school, Glow spent a year on the road with the Richard Himber Orchestra. Two years later he performed first with Xavier Cugat and then Raymond Scott on CBS radio. At the end of the war he played lead trumpet with the Artie Shaw band. Following that stint, he worked with Boyd Raeburn.
1949 saw the twenty-three year old retiring from the road after more than a year with Woody Herman and his famous Second Herd. Bernie worked as a trumpet player in big bands, Latin bands and dance orchestras. He performed in theaters, dance halls, night clubs and on the radio around Manhattan. This was the final preparation that launched him into the burgeoning commercial and studio scene.
During the last years of the big-band era his first-call studio work included Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and did thousands of radio and television recording sessions. Many of these studio big-band sessions were led by composer/arrangers Nelson Riddle, Quincy Jones and Oliver Nelson.
Trumpeter and sideman Bernie Glow, who played on the seminal Miles Davis and Gil Evans collaborations Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess, Sketches of Spain, and Quiet Nights, died of a blood disorder in Manhasset, New York at the age of 56 on May 8, 1982.
