From Steven Loewy’s review of Greg’s debut CD: “Trombonist Greg Waits is a consummate composer and arranger. He is a wonderfully original Jazz trombonist. His post-bop melodies are tight, laid-back, logical, and catchy with an ear for nuance. You hear lots of Jimmy Knepper in his solos, but also Urbie Green, Albert Mangelsdorff, and even Frank Rosolino” (Cadence Jazz Magazine)
Albert Mangelsdorff: “Greg is the one trombonist who not only understands what I am doing, but he is continuing the tradition” (Fachblatt Magazine)
