After the successful release of “best when lived” in 2008, Glass Brick Boulevard stripped down as a lean piano trio featuring composer/pianist Greg Johnson, bassist Rob Fordyce, and drummer Jimmy Sage.
After a health related hiatus, Glass Brick Boulevard resurfaced.
GBB-an original contemporary jazz power trio with a delicate touch that will make you dance and make you cry all in the same night.
Recently that resurfacing took flight with two sold-out shows at the new Fenix music and supper club in San Rafael and GBB is poised to reconnect with fans all around the Bay Area and beyond. A whole new generation awaits.
Founder Greg Johnson grew up in the midwest listening to Gospel, Motown and Beethoven. In the early seventies, bands like Yes, The Who, and Pink Floyd began shaping the road that with the inclusion of Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Weather Report and others led to a compositional exploration that eventually began combining all the influences.
Glass Brick Boulevard was created in 1991 (initially named Inner Act).
