About the Artist
"After being awarded a jazz study grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Greg went to New Orleans in 1985 to study with the eminent pianist and jazz educator Ellis Marsalis. He decided to remain there and began recording and performing with The New Orleans Jazz Couriers, Percussion Incorporated (‘Drum Talk’ was recorded and released in 1987) and his own group, The Fusicians. Greg also appeared on several TV and radio programs-live broadcasts, cable, and network news features.

Greg moved to New York in 1987 and began what has become a long association with multi-directional drummer Rashied Ali. Greg has been performing and recording with Rashied and his various groups throughout Europe, Canada, and the U.S. from 1987 to the present day. During 1989, Greg went to Tokyo, Japan with his trio for two months, in 1990 he led a septet (Club Bird Jazz All Stars) in Yokohama for three months, and in 1991 he performed solo in St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada.

In 1999, Worldbeat records released ‘A Mano’ with Raphael Cruz and ‘Heart Sound’ with Tisziji Munoz was released on the Anami record label.
