A Lazy Sunday Lunch with: Gregg Arthur Celebrates Tony Bennett & Nat King Cole Feat: The Peter Locke Trio

The fact that Gregg Arthur doesn’t sound like Tony Bennett is the perfect place to start. It’s Gregg’s warm tenor voice and unique style that got the attention of Bennett back in 2007.

“I love the way you sing. You’re yourself which makes you an original singer, your phrasing is perfection” – Tony Bennett

With an endorsement like that from the legend himself, Gregg is the ideal man to present all the wonderful hit songs from Tony Bennett’s incredible lifetime of music.

Gregg Arthur follows in the footsteps of Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, and Tony Bennett as one of the great interpreters, and in his show GREGG ARTHUR sings TONY BENNETT he performs songs written by legendary artists including Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Cole Porter, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Michel Legrand, as well as Bennett’s theme song “I Left My Heart In San Francisco”

From Straighten Up And Fly Right, to Stardust and Unforgettable, right through to Nat King Cole’s final recording L-O-V-E. Gregg Arthur lovingly pays homage to not only one of the greatest singers of the 20th century, but also one of the greatest jazz pianists, admired by everyone in his day including the great Oscar Peterson. Gregg’s warm tenor voice and wonderful phrasing bring his unique take on the Nat King Cole songbook to life.

Gregg is joined by Peter Locke on piano, who has studied and performed the Nat King Cole trio songbook for decades. Along with Craig Scott on bass, Andrew Dickeson on drums, this afternoon of music is not to be missed.

“A quintessential jazz club experience” – Eric Myers, Jazz writer The Australian

“… this exceptional singer, like Sinatra, delivers immortal melodies with impeccable phrasing” – The Weekend Australian
