Greg McKenzie, a New York pianist, encompasses a unique blend of intelligence, creativity, commitment, and leadership qualities that generate worldwide recognition as an international pianist and director. His ability to organize and conduct international shows and concerts have been an admired achievement since graduating from Shenandoah Conservatory of Music.

He has embraced the music industry for more than three decades and now anticipating a "new revolution." "The way we listen, dance, acquire, and record music has dramatically changed over the years. It is essential encouraging our audiences to further endorse live entertainment, support classical and jazz music, and invariably protect our copyright laws."

As a Jazz educator for two decades he also coordinates performances worldwide. Recording with many refined musicians including saxophonist Sadao Watanabe has inspired McKenzie to continue writing original compositions and arrangements. Remembering one of the most loved jazz singers Rosemary Clooney expressed, "it is the quintessential New York experience to be looking out at the skyline and listening to the music that Greg McKenzie plays - sophisticated, informed, moving, I say; Top of the Heap!"

McKenzie has enjoyed the success of being music director for many International 5 star hotels and knows that originality and dedication is part of the hospitality industry. "Musicians and artists set the standards how the world interprets liberal arts."

Since leaving Rainbow & Stars in New York City, many goals have been accomplished including, president of FingerNail Moon, Inc. This company is producing Chamber Jazz Concerts (C jC ), and Off-Broadway shows for international travel. After opening for many distinguished singers and celebrities McKenzie states, "there is a desperate need to showcase talent globally, and it is inspirational to orchestrate our ambitions and intelligence through live performance."

While producing shows, Greg will continue to perform as a soloist and with ensembles. Future bookings will continue throughout North America, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
