"Gig for gig, Gregg Gelb may have been the busiest jazz musician in central North Carolina for the last 20 years.  
Gelb is, by example, an advocate for the music."          Owen Cordle, Raleigh News and Observer          
                                
"Saxophonist Gregg Gelb is one of central North Carolina's best known jazz musicians"                            
                                                                                Roger Mullen, Fayetteville Observer

"With "Breakaway" (MG Records), Gelb cuts to the heart of his experience -  a quartet blowing session with seven of his original compositions. Most of the tunes are singable, and Gelb offers warm-toned improvisation on each. His solos balance lyricism and fluid double -time passages. His rhythmic feeling is straight-ahead and  swinging."  Owen Cordle, Raleigh News and Observer

The Gregg Gelb Jazz Quartet or Quintet

"Under the leadership of Gregg Gelb, these four musicians produced a seamless sound..... The Quartet’s sense of togetherness was apparent as they navigated many changes in tempo and rhythm."
