Gregg Karukas, who plays often in the L.A. area, is a talented keyboardist in the pop/jazz vein. His music is upbeat, danceable, sometimes R&B-ish, and melodic. Fortunately, he does dig in and improvise now and then, although much of the music on this Fahrenheit release sounds worked out in advance, with radio airplay (rather than a burning need to create new music) seeming to be its main goal. The most memorable selections on this set are the infectious opener "Back on the Boardwalk" (which has some fine harmonica from Dino Soldo), "Avalon" (not the swing standard), the ballad "Tomorrow We Sail" and "Barracuda Bob"...Among the supporting players are saxophonists Boney James and Eric Marienthal...Overall, the music is generally pleasant, if not very substantial...

Genre: Jazz

A talented keyboardist who has mostly worked in the commercial side of jazz, Gregg Karukas has the potential for stardom. Although he noodled on the piano from age six, he did not start studying music seriously until he was a teenager. Karukas often played organ in r&b bands early on and at 17 he began a five year stint with Tim Eyermann's East Coast Offering. After a period working as a studio musician in D.C., he moved to Los Angeles in 1983 where he became a major part of the pop jazz scene, playing with (among others) Richard Elliot, Grant Geissman, Ronnie Laws and David Benoit. Karukas worked for a year-and-a-half with Melissa Manchester, had a band that featured the young saxophonist Dave Koz and in the mid-1980's he became an original member of the Rippingtons. In addition to his crossover work, Karukas has gained extensive experience playing Brazilian music including with Ricardo Silveira, Sergio Mendes and Dori Caymmi, worked as a freelance producer, been a sideman on albums by Boney James, Peter White and Craig Chaquico, worked as a studio musician and written songs for a variety of r&b/pop artists. As a leader, Gregg Karukas has recorded for Nightowl (1987), Positive Music, Fahrenheit, I.E. Music and N-Coded Music (2000).
