Project Description
Greg Boyer is a trombonist and horn arranger who everybody calls when they want to bring the full bells and whistles to their sound. From Prince to Richard Smallwood, Boyer gets called to play with the best because he is the best! Boyer started his music career on tenor sax at the age of fifteen but switched to trombone during his freshman year at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. Shortly after his third semester he auditioned for and joined Parliament/Funkadelic (a.k.a. George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars). He was a trombonist and horn arranger with the P-Funk Horns for nineteen years. While he retired from the group in 1998, he didn’t bury his “bone”. He went on to tour and arrange the horn section for Prince’s New Power Generation and performed with other artists including legendary saxophonist Maceo Parker, Sheila E, Bootsy Collins, Hank Williams, Jr., the GAP Band, Chuck Brown, Stanley Clarke, David Sanborn, George Duke, Marshall Keys, Alex Bugnon, Brian Culbertson, Richard Smallwood, Third World, Israel Vibrations, Patra, Crystal Waters and Dog Eat Dog.
