Upcoming Shows
Bassist and composer Gregg August spans the jazz, Latin jazz, classical and avant-garde worlds making him one of the most versatile musicians on the scene today. Gregg is a member of the JD Allen Trio and Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra. In 2020 he released his album "Dialogues on Race" and received a GRAMMY nomination in the Best Large Jazz Ensemble category. An extended suite for 22 musicians and narrator, the work integrates poems to create musical conversations intended to foster awareness and understanding on the issues surrounding race relations in the United States.  Gregg was awarded two Grand Prizes by the International Society of Bassists for the 2020 David Walter Composers Competition. He has also composed many full length concert works, including “Variations on a Theme by Pérotin” which was commissioned and premiered by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra in 2021.  Gregg is an Associate member of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra as well as the former Principal Bass of La Orquestra Ciutat de Barcelona.   He has performed and/or recorded with Ornette Coleman, Branford Marsalis, Joyce DiDonato, Ray Barretto, Steve Reich, Chick Corea and the Bang on a Can All-Stars. Gregg is on faculty at New York University, Manhattan School of Music and Williams College.
