  • Bio

    ................ <"…a very gifted guitarist and composer…" Bruce Lundvall – President of Blue Note Records> The Greg Diamond Group is a collective of emerging NYC artists that interprets Latin-infused contemporary jazz. Diamond puts forth a diverse array of original music that's fresh, innovative, and widely appealing. Greg and his band have performed at venues such as: Iridium Jazz Club, Dizzy's Club Coca Cola, Smalls Jazz Club, Rose Theater (Jazz at Lincoln Center), Nublu, Tutuma Jazz Club, The Knitting Factory, and many others. In 2009 Greg and his band were invited as international guests to perform at the Barranquijazz Festival and the Jazz al Parque Festival in Colombia, as well as the First Annual Nublu Jazz Festival in New York City. In 2007, he was a semi-finalist at the Gibson International Jazz Guitar Competition hosted by the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Diamond has shared the stage with such notables as: Seamus Blake, Antonio Hart, Rolando Briceño, Michael Philip Mossman, Hector Martignon, Don Friedman, Asha Puthli, and many others. Greg's debut "Dançando Com Ale" (Chasm), featuring renown tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake, was released in November of 2008. Greg's compositions and arrangements embrace South American and North American traditions with a distinct contemporary sound. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. <" a rising star in the New York jazz scene…" Edward Blanco - allaboutjazz.com> <"consistently assertive, delicate, experimental, and intelligent…" Chip Boaz - Latin Jazz Corner> <"Here's a guitarist that you've gotta hear…" George W.

    Only WE Can STOP WORLD HUNGER Greg!
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WORLD HUNGER ...

    Here is some FOOD FOR THOUGHT ~

    > Every 3.6 seconds a person dies of HUNGER

    > 75% of them are CHILDREN

    > 30 million people a year DIE OF HUNGER

    > HUNGER is the world's #1 Health Risk ~ It kills more
       people every year than AIDS, malaria, and TB
       combined

    > 1 in 7 people in the world will go to bed hungry tonight

    > 925 million people do not have enough to eat and
       98% of them live in developing countries  

    > In the U.S. alone, we spend 5 times the amount each
       year it would take to feed the world's hungry on WEIGHT
       LOSS PROGRAMS

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT FEELING RICH ...

    "It is easy to FEEL RICH any time ...

    Just COUNT all the things you have THAT MONEY

    CAN'T BUY."

    ~ Kevin Eikenberry

    THERE IS NO POINT IN GETTING RICH IF WE LOSE

    OUR SOUL ALONG THE WAY!  CELEBRATE THE

    RICHNESS OF THINGS MONEY CAN'T BUY!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES ...

    Greg My Friend,

    "We are all faced

    with a series of GREAT OPPORTUNITIES

    brilliantly disguised

    as IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS.”
     
    ~ Charles R. Swindoll

    OPPORTUNITY, AND RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE

    SOMETHING BACK BY BECOMING MORE!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP ...

    "A HUG is worth A THOUSAND WORDS.

     A FRIEND is worth MORE."

    Have COURAGE Greg!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT COURAGE  ...

    "The stories of PAST COURAGE can define that ingredient -

    they can TEACH, they can OFFER HOPE, they can provide

    INSPIRATION. But they CANNOT SUPPLY COURAGE ITSELF.

    For this EACH MAN MUST LOOK INTO HIS OWN SOUL."
     
     ~ John F. Kennedy

    COURAGE IS BEING SCARED TO DEATH ~

    BUT SADDLING UP ANYWAY!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Only LOVE can conquer HATE Greg!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HATRED ...

    "Holding ANGER is a POISON. It eats you from inside. We think that HATING is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But HATRED is a curved blade.

    And the HARMS WE DO, we do TO OURSELVES."
     
    ~ Mitch Albom

     YOU CANNOT HATE OTHER PEOPLE WITHOUT

    HATING YOURSELF!  HATRED AND ANGER ARE

    POWERLESS WHEN MET WITH KINDNESS AND LOVE!

    The FUTURE Comes 1 Day at a Time Greg!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE FUTURE ...

    "STOP ACTING as if LIFE is a REHEARSAL.

    LIVE this day as if it were YOUR LAST.

    The PAST is OVER and GONE.

    The FUTURE is not GUARANTEED."

    ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

    MAY THE DREAMS OF YOUR PAST BE

    THE REALITY OF YOUR FUTURE!

    Don't WORRY be HAPPY Greg!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT STRESS ...

    "When you find yourself STRESSED, ask yourself ONE QUESTION:

    Will this MATTER 5 years from now?

    If YES, then DO SOMETHING about the situation.

    If NO, then LET IT GO."

     ~ Catherine Pulsifer

    STRESS IS AN IGNORANT STATE.

    IT BELIEVES THAT EVERYTHING IS AN EMERGENCY!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WALKING THE WALK ...

    "Start doing the things YOU THINK SHOULD BE DONE, and start BEING what you think society should become.

    Do you believe in free speech? THEN SPEAK FREELY.

    Do you love the truth? THEN TELL IT.

    Do you believe in an open society? Then ACT IN THE OPEN.

    Do you believe in a decent and humane society? Then behave DECENTLY and HUMANELY."

    ~ Adam Michnik

    IT'S TIME TO WALK THE WALK ~ TO LIVE THE THINGS WE SAY WE BELIEVE IN!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
