Greg Lloyd

A genre alchemist, Greg blends jazz tradition, North African chaabi pulse, classical complexity and contemporary textures into immersive instrumental improvised musical journeys.

One of Ireland’s most sought after pianists, Greg Lloyd is an Australian musician living in Ireland fusing contemporary Jazz, Latin, Funk, Classical and North African sonorities with original instrumental compositions and improvisations in a traditional piano trio format with percussion.

Greg’s music is an exploration of improvisation as a living language — a conversation between traditions, emotions, and cultural memory.

Rooted in jazz, each composition begins and end with enthralling harmony and captivating melody as a framework rather than a fixed structure, allowing spontaneity to guide the direction of the music. The music is never the same twice.

The blues provides its emotional backbone, jazz offers freedom of dialogue, rock contributes raw energy, funk shapes the groove, classical music informs the harmonic architecture, and North African ‘chaabi’ brings ancestral rhythm and melodic ornamentation into the soundscape.
