Queen City Blues

My most recent piano trio recording with the musicians I have performed regularly with for over ten years.

“Cincinnati jazz’s secret weapon with international acclaim…a cat that knows how to really swing, this hard-driving set brings originals and disparate covers together with a silver thread and makes it sparkle.” – Chris Spector, Midwest Record

“Jaunty recordings like pianist Phil DeGreg’s latest Queen City Blue are what we all need from time to time..no grand statements, no big names. Just three trusted, Ohio-based jazz journeymen, exponents, advocates, and devoted educators playing the music they love and testify to daily.” – Mike Jurcovic, All About Jazz

“The power of his attack is comparable with Ahmad Jamal or Red Garland.. it makes for wonderful listening.” – Robert Rusch, Cadence Magazine

“Is there a better listening recipe than a swinging trio of guys who know the score playing a mix of standards and originals? I think not.” -Lance Garner, Bebop Spoken Here
