Gregg Arthur sings The Great American Songbook – Friday, 26th of January 2024:
A selection of the greatest songs ever written. Gershwin, Porter, Rodgers & Hart and so much more. Australia’s premier jazz vocalist Gregg Arthur, with legendary drummer Andrew Dickeson, pianist Peter Locke, bassist Craig Scott, and the one and only Charlie Meadows on Guitar.
“A quintessential jazz club experience.” – Eric Myers, The Weekend Australian
“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
“I love the way you sing. You yourself, which makes you an original singer, your phrasing is perfection.” – Tony Bennett
Endorsed by the biggest names in jazz and praised by his contemporaries and the press, Australian vocalist Gregg Arthur follows in the footsteps of Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, and Tony Bennett as one of the great interpreters. His recordings and live performances feature original compositions and fresh interpretations of popular standards written by legendary artists including Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Cole Porter, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Michel Legrand.
The Weekend Australian called Gregg “the finest male jazz singer Australia has produced” and throughout a long career in Australia and America he has honed his talents and worked with iconic musicians including Australia’s own Maestro Tommy Tycho, Tom Ranier (pianist for Tony Bennett), Bob Rosario (Pianist and arranger for Bobby Darin) Vincent Falcone (pianist and conductor for Frank Sinatra), and the “Brush Master” Clayton Cameron (drummer for Tony Bennett and Sammy Davis Jr)
