As a performer/arranger with orchestras and his performing groups, Gregory’s cross-cultural and wide-reaching appeal has brought him to perform for Presidents and Vice Presidents, celebrities, heads of state, the United Nations and millions of music fans around the globe.\nIn 2006 he founded a record label, Estile Records, and has released 4 critically acclaimed albums to date. In November 2020, he releases a recording of Philip Glass’ music with the Janacek Philharmonic and conductor Mark Shapiro.
