Gregg Arthur “Unforgettable” – A Portrait Of Nat King Cole – Saturday, 6th of May, 2023:
From Straighten Up And Fly Right, to Stardust and Unforgettable, right through to Nat King Cole’s final recording L-O-V-E.
Gregg Arthur lovingly pays homage to not only one of the greatest singers of the 20th century, but also one of the greatest jazz pianists, admired by everyone in his day including the great Oscar Peterson.
Gregg’s warm tenor voice and wonderful phrasing bring his unique take on the Nat King Cole songbook to life on stage at Foundry 616.
Gregg is joined by Peter Locke on piano, who has studied and performed the Nat King Cole trio songbook for decades. Along with Craig Scott on bass, and Andrew Dickeson on drums, this is a night of music not to be missed.
“A quintessential jazz club experience” – Eric Myers, Jazz writer The Australian
“I love the way you sing. You’re yourself, which makes you an original singer. Your phrasing is perfection” – Tony Bennett
“Some people got it, and some people don’t. Gregg Arthur is one of the ones who does, it’s the devilish art of being a jazz singer” – John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald
“… this exceptional singer, like Sinatra, delivers immortal melodies with impeccable phrasing” – The Weekend Australian
