Why Genesis?
Why progressive music?

To anyone who loves the music of Genesis, the answer is apparent. To all others, my reasons are the following: I have studied, played and listened to many diverse forms of music: classical (in all its forms from Baroque to dodecaphonic, minimalist to aleatoric), classic rock, jazz, fusion, folk and of course "prog". In my opinion, the only style that can satisfy all those loves is progressive music in the best sense of that word. And the closest to my heart is Genesis. (Oh those chord progressions! Most of you know what I mean. You've had those chills down your spine.) 

As a guitarist, you have the opportunity to play electric, 12-string acoustic and classical guitar with all the varied characteristics that those instruments imply. And the diverse roles the guitar plays in the music means that it's always exciting to play. From composed and improvised solos to chordal backing to true polyphonic interplay with the other musicians, it's all there. Even in sections of the music when I'm not playing it's still exciting and fulfilling. 

Greg has a degree in music/classical guitar study from New Jersey City University where he first met "Miles" Standish, Foxtrot's bass player. He teaches guitar at Monmouth Academy of the Musical Arts in Marlboro, NJ.


For Greg, Foxtrot is a continuation of work done with his previous band "Creation Theory", a New York based Genesis tribute band that played early Genesis classics such as Supper's Ready and Cinema Show as well as the music of such diverse prog bands as King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and Happy the Man.

Influences: Steve Hackett (obviously), Steve Howe, Robert Fripp, John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Julian Bream, Dusan Bogdanovic, Gyorgy Ligeti.
