ALL ABOUT JAZZ, FEBRUARY 2004:
"Glenn Shambroom is a baritone sax player and multi instrumentalist whose approach is reminiscent of the brightest work from Gerry Mulligan, in both his lyrical playing and his catchy themes. 'Include Me Out' offers a balanced set of original compositions that will win you over with their boppish swing and smartly crafted arrangements.
Shambroom is quite at home in the melody. His playing is muscular without being gritty, and firmly in the groove. Shambroom and his tag team partner Billy Novick share a love for clean phrasing and fluid lines, and the two of them go through the entire reed section from flute to bass clarinet.
The bittersweet ballad 'Nina's Dream' is one of the record's standout tracks, featuring dreamy interplay between soprano sax, bass clarinet and soulful tones from Tom West's Hammond B3. For straight ahead blowing, you can't go wrong with 'Asset Check', which swings in the fashion of '50's Pacific Coast jazz. 'The Pie Is Gone' is a hip cooker thanks to the addition of bongos, flute and accoustic guitar.
All told, 'Include Me Out' is a distinctive outing for Glenn Shambroom. With his confident swing, shifting arrangements and strong compositions, Shambroom has managed to create a record that is both intelligent and fun. Include me in." -Ken Hohman

Shambroom grounds his quintet with a set of strong performances on baritone sax, except on a pair of tracks which feature his work on soprano, but he makes plenty of room for his bandmates, notably multi-reedman Billy Novick and keybo
