November 22: Greg Holloway Quartet
Join the Greg Holloway Quartet for an evening of great music. Greg Holloway’s approach to jazz is deeply rooted in contemporary music and various Latin styles. As a drummer/percussionist, he’s known for his swinging style.
Greg Holloway started playing drums at age 9 and began playing in his father’s cabaret band. He was regularly performing for pay by the time he was teenager. He capped off this real-world experience with degrees is from Howard University and a graduate degree from the University of LaVerne in Southern California. His studies focused on music education, with an emphasis on jazz drumming and percussion.
After a career in the prestigious U.S. Air Force bands, including musical director and leader of jazz ensembles, Greg returned to civilian life in Washington, D.C., playing in a wide range of jazz ensembles. You can see him perform at prestigious local jazz halls, like Westminster and Blues Alley.
His music is dedicated to jazz masters of the 40s, 50s and 60s — offering hard swinging rhythms from classic arrangements. He has performed with multiple illustrious artists, including Aretha Franklin and Hank Jones.
He’ll be joined by a group of DC jazz veterans. Come out and enjoy a great night of swinging jazz with one of D.C.’s favorite sons.
