Glass is a progressive rock trio consisting of brothers Jeff and Greg Sherman and drummer Jerry Cook. Formed in the early 1970s in the Pacific Northwest, the band represents a unique case of 'belated' musical impact.
Despite being highly active in the mid-70s, their studio output remained largely unreleased until the early 2000s, leading to a sound that is perfectly preserved in the 1970s symphonic and Canterbury jazz-rock traditions. Their sound identity is defined by a keyboard-centric approach, utilizing Mellotrons, Hammond organs, and Moog synthesizers to create lush, orchestral textures. Critically, they are noted for their connection to the Canterbury scene's whimsical complexity, despite their American origins. Their career arc saw a major resurgence in the 21st century, performing at major festivals like ProgWest and Baja Prog. They occupy a niche as a 'musician's band,' respected for their preservation of analog techniques and their ability to bridge the gap between 70s space rock and modern symphonic prog.
