Don Glori

Unpicking the thread that stitches together Don Glori’s music would be an impossible task. His records combine elements of Jazz, Funk, Soul, RnB and Samba, yet he doesn’t fit neatly into any of those genres. His live show is more jazz - punk - funk than anything. One thing is certain, there is an undeniable, joyful, spirit that permeates through his music.

Following on from the success of his 2024 album ‘Don’t Forget to Have Fun’, Don Glori is back with his third offering, this time on Mr. Bongo - ‘Paper Can’t Wrap Fire’.

“A kaleidoscopic genre-surfing odyssey that brings together the worlds of jazz, soul and funk. Feeling both contemporary and classic, familiar yet novel, it’s an assured third release that sees an artist in full flight, showcasing their creative prowess and the uniqueness of their musical voice.”

Since relocating to London from Naarm (Melbourne, Australia) in 2023, Don has gone from strength to strength. Selling out shows at London Jazz Festival, Jassmine and Ronnie Scotts.

Gathering support from BBC, NTS, Worldwide FM, Rinse FM, KEXP, Tokyo FM, PBS and RRR. His second album ‘Don’t Forget to Have Fun’ was released on Deep Matter in 2024 to widespread support and led to subsequent tours around Australia, EU & UK. Recent performances include Meredith Music Festival, Jassmine, London Jazz Festival, Brick Lane Jazz Festival, Badehaus Berlin, The Jazz Cafe, Dragefjellet, Strawberry Fields, Panama Festival and Dark MOFO. He has supported Azymuth, Marcos Valle, Emma-Jean Thackray, Turnover to name a few, and continues to add to his growing CV of bucket list venues & festivals.
