He studied classical piano and music theory at the Manhattan School of Music and was mentored by the late Morris Nanton of the famed Morris Nanton Trio—a relationship that deeply shaped his lush chord voicings and tasteful phrasing. \n\n\n\nBefore settling into jazz piano\, Glenn played percussion in Willie Sossa’s salsa band and electric bass in various R&B groups\, giving him a rhythmic versatility that shines through in his playing. His performances with Meant To Be are marked by swinging standards\, elegant improvisation\, and a deep connection with his fellow musicians\, including Alan Hayes (bass). \n\n\n\nWhether he’s interpreting “Autumn Leaves” or navigating the complexities of “Giant Steps\,” Glenn brings warmth\, precision\, and a sense of storytelling to every note.  \n\n\n\nJohn DuBose – Saxophone Soul from North Jersey \n\n\n\nWhen the groove demands heart\, flair\, and fire\, John DuBose answers with his sax. A standout in New Jersey’s live music circuit\, John’s horn sings with a rich blend of funk\, jazz\, and R&B\, weaving smooth melodies with punchy rhythmic flair. \n\n\n\nWhether trading licks in the MPACK Band alongside vocalists like Patricia Walton and Tanaa Dean\, or anchoring spontaneous jams that get crowds moving\, DuBose brings a seasoned\, expressive tone that lights up every stage. He’s not just playing the notes—he’s telling a story\, rooted in soul and shaped by community. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAlan Hayes – The Groove Anchor of Meant To Be Jazz Band \n\n\n\nWith every pluck of the string\, Alan Hayes brings the foundation\, the flow\, and the finesse to Meant To Be Jazz Band. His bass isn’t just background—it’s the heartbeat\, guiding melodies and grounding improvisations with a warm\, steady pulse that audiences feel in their soul. \n\n\n\nA trusted collaborator within New Jersey’s jazz scene\, Alan’s style blends traditional swing with modern subtlety. Whether supporting Glenn Merritt’s lyrical piano lines\, Pete Omelio’s tight rhythms\, or John Higgins’ bright trumpet tones\, Alan locks in the band’s dynamic sound with quiet authority and magnetic rhythm.  \n\n\n\nScott “Phunky B” Jordan LIVE – August 3rd @ Springfield Avenue Gazebo! Get ready for grooves that grab you by the soul. \n\n\n\nOn August 3rd\, the Springfield Avenue Gazebo welcomes Scott “Phunky B” Jordan\, a drummer whose beats are as bold as his mantra: “Music IZ Who I AM\, IT’S WHAT I DO.” Known for locking into funk\, soul\, and jazz rhythms with precision and fire\, Scott turns each set into a percussive celebration of self-expression and community pulse. \n\n\n\nHis style—raw\, rhythmic\, and joyfully unfiltered—pairs seamlessly with the vocal brilliance of Lynette Sheard\, making this double-feature a can’t-miss evening of healing\, high-energy music.
