Vincent has defined jazz/R&B for worldwide audiences since he started recording music. Vincent credits his eclectic sound to the rich appreciation for gospel music that resounded through his parent's Baltimore home where his dad played tenor sax, mother played piano and drums, and his sisters and brothers played sax, drums and guitar. Vincent's father is still the pastor of his hometown church, Mt. Zion Congregation.
After developing his interest in jazz music, Vincent studied three years at the Peabody Conservatory and two years at the University of Maryland, and is still learning, developing, and exploring as a professional musician. He has worked in television, theater, and the recording industry, which all help to fuel the ongoing success of jazz music. His discography continues to lengthen as he will appear on several new releases, including projects by Mark Gross, "The Gospel According to Mark" and Bob Peckman featuring Vincent Gross, "Alone Together." His own project entitled, Vinnie's Vibe, to be released this year, features the newly released single, "A Spring Affair." His latest project features classic jazz in juxtaposition with rap and R & B.
Vincent has toured and played at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the Japan Jazz Festival and the Down Beat Jazz Festival, to name a few. He has toured Japan with the Mark Conese Quintet and with Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers. Vincent has played and recorded with such musicians as JJ Johnson, Jimmy McGriff, Gary Bartz, Antonio Hart, Cyrus Chestnut, Gary Thomas, Sarah Vaughan, Mulgrew Miller, Mark Witfreid, Delfayo Marsalis, Philip Harper, and The Temptations.
