Greg Lloyd is an Australian/Irish jazz pianist based in Dublin, who creates original, alternative, improvised music in a piano trio format, mixing together all genres of music into a new unmissable cocktail.
Greg's original compositions combine jazz, funk, rock, classical, cuban, bossa elements plus interweave melodies influenced by his experience in Algeria working on the film 'El Gusto', an award-winning film about the lost 'Chaabi' music of Northern Africa where Greg worked with Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz) as co-producer of the album 'Abel Hadi Halo & the El Gusto Orchestra of Algiers’, released on the Honest Jon’s record label. Plus composed, arranged, co musically directed and orchestrated the lost music of the Algerian cashbar in Algiers for the film “El Gusto” which re-united the long-lost 46 Jewish and Muslum torn apart by the war of Algeria. Music bought them together and the war torn them apart.
Greg has just finished recording his eagerly awaited second album - ‘Early Train’ - comprising 10 new original tracks which will be launched later in 2025
