Gregg Karukas is an artist who is musically all over the map as a composer, performer, producer, and more. He recently released his first-ever solo piano album, Serenata (his 13th album), and it's a beauty!
With Serenata, Gregg Karukas reaches a trio of musical milestones: His first album in six years. His first solo piano album, his first collection for New Age listeners, and his first homage to Brazilian music. Spanning 15 titles – with half being Karukas originals – Serenata is at once powerful and intimate.
One of urban contemporary jazz's most versatile and acclaimed artists for over 25 years, Gregg won the Grammy for producing, composing, arranging, playing all keyboards and engineering Echoes of Love, which won Best New Age Album at the 55th Grammy Awards in February 2013.
“Tudo O Que Você Podia Ser” by Lô Borges and Marcio Borges combines a jazzier, more rhythmic style with a beautifully poignant melody. Karukas’ “Better Days” is another favorite - simple, direct and from the heart. “Sound of Emotion,” (Karukas) feels like an intimate conversation without words - I love it!
