His style harks back to a pre-jazz age of bel canto singing; he named the likes of Henry Burr and even Enrico
Caruso amongst his influences, in a recent chat with The Syncopated Times. Such idols show themselves in Greg’s
version of “The Charleston” when, in the final chorus, he holds several syllables in impressive portamento slides.
These, with his half-spoken, quivering vibrato, do a lot to refresh an otherwise very well-worn standard;
something he achieves again and again with “Five Foot Two Eyes of Blue” and “I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My
Sister Kate.”
Dave J Doyle, The Syncopated Times (U.S.A)
