Gregg Arthur first commanded a concert stage with Maestro Tommy Tycho, soon after in Las Vegas with Frank Sinatra’s conductor Vincent Falcone, and he has been blowing audiences away ever since.
Endorsed by the biggest names in jazz and praised by his contemporaries and the press, Australian vocalist and composer Gregg Arthur follows in the footsteps of Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, and Tony Bennett as one of the great interpreters of The Great American Songbook.
Gregg Arthur takes the stage with this new concert featuring his most requested classics from composers Cole Porter, George & Ira Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Rodgers & Hart, Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington and more.
He will be accompanied by Australian jazz royalty, pianist Peter Locke, bassist Craig Scott, drummer Andrew Dickeson and guest artists Craig Walters on tenor saxophone and guitarist Charlie Meadows.
