Gregory Agid is emerging as the preeminent jazz clarinetist of his generation. The New Orleans based multi-instrumentalist maintains an extremely active performance schedule playing both clarinet and saxophone with GRAMMY award-winning artist Michael Buble, Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra, and his own Gregory Agid Quartet, with whom he has released three albums to date. Agid comes from a strong tradition of jazz excellence, education, and mentorship in New Orleans. As the protégée of clarinet guru Alvin Batiste, it is only natural that Agid has found great success and fulfillment as an educator. Agid is the co-founder and Executive Director of Second Line Arts Collective, a non-profit organization dedicated to cultivating the artistic and entrepreneurial growth of aspiring creatives.
Gregory Agid has worked with the who’s who of the New Orleans jazz scene and beyond including Ellis Marsalis, Herlin Riley, Marlon Jordan, Kent Jordan, Branford Marsalis, Eric Reed, Jeff “Tain” Watts, and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra.
