The Measure of a Man

I met Benoit a few years back for an Orlando Weekly music column story. This time around he made the cover! The story is a bit of a difficult one having to do with his immigration issues. For more on the story read here - Orlando Weekly

In case your wondering.. "Glazer has conducted, directed and performed as the sole trumpeter for Cirque de Soleil’s La Nouba. He has also co-produced feature-film soundtracks that earned him Gemeaux and Felix awards (considered Quebec’s Emmys and Grammys, respectively), lectured to the world’s top trumpet players and he owns a U.S. patent on a new trumpet design. At 21 years of age, he was hired into a tenure-track conductor position in the world-class Jazz Orchestra Program at McGill University, a feat that the dean of the university says “hasn’t happened since and likely won’t happen again.” He’s considered a legend within the Drum Corps International movement, and he’s also an adept bassist (electric and upright), drummer, keyboardist, woodwind player and sound engineer. He’s the founder of an acclaimed nonprofit in Orlando, the Timucua Arts Foundation, which this publication called the city’s “best saving grace” in its 2009 Best of Orlando issue." - Orlando Weekly
