Technocats
The Music of Gregg Hill

August 2023 Release

Charting #1 on RMR!

Hill’s memorable themes are used as springboards for narratives by each member of this fine group with solos that are always tasteful, lyrical and accessible. “Technocats” will have far reaching appeal to jazz fans across the spectrum.
