Seasoned by touring dates

a distinctively original
and popular voice in the Bay Area jazz scene ever since.

like her piano, is vibrant... and her voice has a compelling
storytelling quality
about it. Compositions ... are structurally and harmonically
sophisticated and adventurous.”
Dave Nathan, All Music Guide

Eric Swinderman as "a
marvelous guitar player - unassuming, imaginative.
He projects a clear,
strong line." When this quartet plays, the audience is
involved. The emphasis
is on mellow sounds, but, at the same time,
they swing. Really swing.
Not to be denied! IN PURSUIT OF THE SOUND

had a high degree of sensuality. ... Robin Gregory
continues in that luscious
tradition. Her velvet voice and lovely phrasing
speaks to your ears and
gently caresses your heart." - Bud Spangler,
music producer
"Robin Gregory uses dusky contralto tones, subtle phrasing,
and crystalline enunciation
to draw the listener into the romance of her
thoughtfully chosen material
