He created his “Piccolo sound” by blending blues with traditional jazz pop reggae and rock ‘n roll. Piccolo’s repertoire combines covers of selected obscure gems dressed with unique arrangements and a fluent delivery of American roots music. This dynamic ability to glide from tenor sax to alto sax to guitar and even bass has made Piccolo a two-time recipient of a Blues Music Award nomination for instrumentation. Greg Piccolo’s history encompasses Grammy-winning session work with Jimmy and Stevie Ray Vaughn and the legendary Big Joe Turner. Additional performances include Hubert Sumlin and Earl King.
