Event Description
A native of Chicago, pianist Greg Murphy has been a key figure on the New York City jazz scene since the 1980s. His early musical experiences in Chicago included work with Lightning Flash Thunder Roar, the University of Illinois at Chicago Big Band, and the Northern Illinois University Big Band.
In 1984, he received a National Endowment for the Arts jazz grant, leading him to New Orleans to study with Ellis Marsalis, where he performed and recorded with The New Orleans Jazz Couriers, Percussion Incorporated, and his own group, The Fusicians, and appeared alongside artists such as Donald Harrison and Wynton Marsalis. After moving to New York City in 1987, Murphy began a long collaboration with drummer Rashied Ali, touring and recording internationally until 2009, and has since performed worldwide—with his trio and other projects—across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, collaborating with artists including Ornette Coleman, Carlos Santana, and Archie Shepp, and releasing eight albums as a leader
