Gregg Gelb Composer "The success of the Gregg Gelb Swing Band can be attributed to its unique 'little big band' sound. We play my arrangements of jazz standards, transcriptions of earlier small swing bands, and my original compositions. Receiving the 1997-98 fellowship has allowed me the time to write a new set of arrangements of Cole Porter tunes and more arrangements and compositions are in the works. The fellowship funds will also be used for marketing and making a new recording." Gregg Gelb has a B. A. from the Berklee College of Music and a Master of Music from the North Carolina School of the Arts. He is a jazz musician, private music teacher, as well as leader of the Gregg Gelb Swing Band, the Heart of Carolina Jazz Orchestra and Society, and is co-founder and member of the North Carolina Jazz Repertory Orchestra and. He lives in Sanford, NC with his wife and vocalist, Kathy and his son, Christopher. Return to the NC Artist Grant Award Recipients for 1997-98
