Greg Chambers

Greg's latest CD, "Can't Help Myself" releases August 1, 2014. Entirely produced by Nate Harasim and Matt Godina, this record features 2x Grammy Winner Paul Brown, Julian Vaughn, Nils and others.

Greg's last record, "After Hours", featured Paul Brown on guitar, smooth jazz pianist Jonathan Fritzen, session musicians Ross Bolton, Louis Fasman, and Roberto Vally, and the mixing expertise of saxophonist/producer Darren Rahn. Singles from "After Hours" and Greg's 2011 self-titled album have charted on the Smoothjazz.com Top 50 Chart, the Jazzweek Top 50 Smooth Singles Chart and have made the Most Added/Increased Airplay lists for Billboard Magazine, Smoothjazz.com, and RadioWave.

As a freelance musician and private woodwind instructor in the San Francisco Bay Area, Greg strongly believes in being versatile- evident in the fact that he graduated with a Master of Music Degree in Saxophone from UCLA in 2008. As a classical saxophonist, he has worked with the New World Symphony (in Miami, FL), the Spoleto USA Festival Orchestra (in Charleston, SC), and was the Saxophone Fellowship recipient for the 2007 & 2008 seasons of the Aspen Music Festival (where he was given the privilege to work with such luminaries as Leonard Slatkin, Michael Tilson Thomas, David Robertson, Kathleen Battle, and many more). - See more at: http://www.gregchambersmusic.com/bio/#sthash.f8UUCNNK.dpuf
