…Whatever challenges music and life have thrown in the path of Sencalar and Glassman, Realization makes it plain that they have risen to the occasion and responded well indeed. Sought after as sidemen with the likes of Christian McBride, Slide Hampton, Etienne Charles and Ulysses Owens, they’ve been bringing their group out for festival appearances as well as educational initiatives like their “Welcome Home Tour” through East Lansing’s elementary schools, working to spread the values of jazz education. It’s never too early in one’s career to give back, and that spirit of generosity and budding wisdom comes through on Realization, first note to last.
