Greg Waits Trio
| Date: | Thu, May 22, 2025 |
| Time | 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM |
Trombonist/composer Greg Waits returns to Steve’s Wine Bar (Denton) on Friday, May 23rd, with guitarist Sam Walker and bassist Mark Wilson.
Informally referred to as the Alliteration Trio, the band has played regularly in the DFW area for several years, steadily building a following with their distinct approach to group improvisation.
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)
