“There is nothing small about the sax sound of Greg Piccolo. His tone is big and round like Gene Ammons or Arnett Cobb, and he plays long intricate lines interspersed with rhythmic honks and explosive bursts. We had Greg Piccolo on board in Bellinzona and it really added to the power of the show.” says “LITTLE CHARLIE” BATY (Little Charlies & The Nightcats)
Acclaimed Vocalist & Saxophonist GREG PICCOLO is a former member of the Roomful of Blues, having been recruited by Duke Robillard at the age of 19 as one of the earliest members of what became the Rhode Island based powerhouse group. After nearly 25 years with Roomful of Blues, Greg sensed a calling to go back to his roots and further develop his "heavy juice" sound. His "less is more" approach gave him the freedom to cover the gamut of his musical longings, which include traditional Jazz, Blues, R&B, and Rock 'n' Roll. He had compiled a well of songs which demanded their own arrangements and band configurations outside of the classic "Roomful sound." Now at seventy-three years of age, Greg Piccolo is still practicing his horn every day, writing his own material, and traveling the world with Heavy Juice. Piccolo is an example of someone who always plays from his heart. "Piccolo picks songs associated with his influences...The effect is more cool and stunning." raves ALL ABOUT JAZZ.
