Feedback
- f you're looking for the consumate trio (piano, bass, drums) for your event, look no further than Greg Lamont. Mr. Lamont handled our entire event - from start to finish - like a true professional. Moreover, in terms of musical ability, you won't find a better group anywhere. The talent of this group amazed me - and I've heard the best. Finally, they took every request in stride. Professionally dressed, they arrived on time, and we practically had to beg them to take a break. They really enjoy performing.
