When was the last time you saw a jazz guitarist step up to the vocal mic and bring the audience to tears with a country ballad by Gram Parsons? Minnesota music luminary Ben Glaros has found a way to bring this all together in "The Other Ol' Blue Eyes". He and bassist Bruce Morrow play a carefully curated blend of jazz standards, pop and country classics and original tunes.

Throw in the improvisational talents of these two amazing musicians and you've got a truly unique set of music!
