​Born in London, Greg Jacobs grew up in San Rafael, where he started playing classical piano as a small child. When he was twelve he was inspired by the music of Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and by a local pianist Zack Hornstein who played blues, originals, and folk music and would rehearse with Felix and Greg's brother Josh at their home. Greg studied classical and jazz piano with the brilliant Gini Wilson for about four years while he attended San Rafael High School. As a teenager, he spent countless hours playing the standards and fell in love with music, especially the music of Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane among many others. Greg played in the jazz band led by Sean Castle at San Rafael High School and performed at private events with a quartet based on the big band's rhythm section. Meanwhile he participated in recitals and competitions as a classical pianist and attended some of the public jam sessions at bars and clubs in San Francisco, while also playing organ, guitar, and keyboard with friends that liked to play reggae, ska, blues, and other styles of music. Greg attended Jazz Camp West twice where he took some lessons from Elio Villafranca on Afro Cuban piano methods, and was inspired by his experiences there to play with other musicians as much as possible. While getting his Bachelors degrees in Biology and Spanish at San Francisco State University, Greg played in the jazz combos directed by Andrew Speight and continued to play trio and quartet gigs at private events. Shortly after graduating from university in 2013 Greg started to perform more frequently and teach private lessons and then decided to pursue music full-time.
