He is Principal Bass of the Brooklyn Philharmonic and plays regularly with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and Orchestra of St. Luke’s.

He's also a member of the critically acclaimed JD Allen Trio, with whom he has recorded 6 albums.   As a composer Gregg recently completed a commission from the American Composers Orchestra/Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute for a new full length orchestra piece which was premiered in 2013 by the Buffalo Philharmonic. In 2003 he formed his own group, and has recorded three critically acclaimed albums of entirely original music: Four by Six (Iacuessa Records 2012), One Peace (Iacuessa Records, 2007), and Late August (Iacuessa Records, 2005).
