Albert Glenny is mostly
known as string bass player. He was for example the bass player of the
Buddy Bolden Band, as he told Alan Lomax in 1949. He also was the bass
player in Kid Rena's band that was recorded on August 21, 1940.
Albert Glenny (1870-1958) said that he
almost exclusively bowed during his early career in New Orleans. He was
somewhat disdainful of the pluckers and slappers, "that ain't no bass
playing...pick pockpick", but said he had to learn the style in order to
keep playing professionally.i1
