Gregory is rightly regarded as his generation's most soulful jazz singer-songwriter.

His last five albums have all reached the UK Top 10, with Take Me To The Alley (2016), Nat King Cole & Me (2017) and All Rise (2020) hitting the Top Five.

The seven-time Grammy nominee has amassed cumulative streams of 1.6 billion and counting.
