WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“I love the way you sing. You have a fan in the way you phrase... it’s perfect”
Tony Bennett
“Jazz is not only about commercial imperatives; it’s also about artistry and musical excellence. I’m fussy when it comes to vocalists, and very hard to please. I feel that this country has only a handful of great jazz singers. This quintessential jazz club experience confirmed for me that Gregg Arthur is one of them.”

"Some people got it, and some people don’t. Gregg Arthur is one of the ones who does. It’s the devilish art of being a jazz singer."
John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald
"...most contemporary jazz singers would kill to pen songs the quality of Arthur's originals"
John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald

“To hear Arthur sing, for example, the great Lorenz Hart/ Rochard Rodgers composition My Roman is to know we're in the hands of a masterful interpreter of lyrics and a superior purveyor of immortal melodies.”

John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald
"In my opinion, he is the ultimate crooner"
Maestro Tommy Tycho AM MBE

“Gregg Arthur is the musicianʼs singer. His interpretations of the songs are lucid, groovy and informed by the tradition of jazz singing. He has a great instrument-it allows him to speak to the audience as though he was confiding his most personal thoughts with them. Most importantly he knows the genre and speaks it with an authority that one seldom hears. He is my favourite male singer for all these reasons.”
Craig Scott. Chair of jazz studies, Sydney Conservatorium Of Music.
“Unmatched as a singer and performer”
Clayton Cameron (Drummer with Sammy Davis Jnr, Tony Bennett, George Shearing, Joe Pass, Joe Williams).
“Simply one of the best singers I have ever heard”
Tom Ranier (pianist/arranger Barbara Streisand, Tony Bennett, Placido Domingo, Lady GaGa)
"Arthur’s appeal to jazz fans is based on similar qualities which he shares with Sinatra: not only immaculate phrasing of the lyrics, but also an ability to swing, and feel the groove in the music, and how to ride on the pulse of a great rhythm section ready made behind him."

“Last Call is, in my opinion, one of the great torch songs of the modern age. From a singer/ composer who succeeds in making us feel the emotional depth and honesty of their intimate feelings of life. As good as it gets. 5 Stars!"
Jim Pennell. Eastside Radio 89.7fm
“... follows in the footsteps of Mr. Sinatra, and effectively disseminates the great music which Mr. Sinatra loved so much.”
Vincent Falcone, Frank Sinatraʼs pianist and conductor
