Greg Cinzio was 6 years old when he joined the Garfield Cadets. Originally a drummer, he switched to soprano under the instruction of the legendary Hall of Fame member Jim D’Amico, becoming a featured soloist and eventually Drum Major.
His “Echano” solo from 1977, while simultaneously conducting that piece, is among the best ever recorded.
He has instructed and performed with the NY Skyliners Alumni since 2006 and researched and produced both the Cadets 50th Anniversary book and video projects.
