Phil DeGreg began playing the piano in his childhood and now performs as a jazz pianist internationally. His earliest jazz influences were Bud Powell and Bill Evans, but he is accomplished and comfortable in a wide range of jazz styles, ranging from mainstream to bebop to Brazilian jazz. His versatility has led to professional performances with dozens of internationally recognized jazz artists, as well as leading and recording with his own groups. Phil DeGreg has released eleven recordings as a leader and has been recorded as a sideman on many other jazz projects. He is also featured with J.J. Johnson on the video “J.J. Johnson Live in Concert.” His most recent recorded project called “Melodious Monk” done in conjunction with trumpeter Kim Pensyl features the music of Thelonius Monk in duo and trio settings without drums. A review in All About Jazz writes: “he exhibits an excellent understanding of the complex compositions, and the stride tradition from which Monk sprang, they succeed because they have an undeniable affection for Monk, and their performance is top-notch….Phil DeGreg’s masterful piano interprets Monk brilliantly” $10 drink minimum charged per person in party if the total for beverages purchased by the party does not meet the minimum.
