- Gregg_Karukas abstract "Gregory Harry "Gregg" Karukas (born May 18, 1956) is a Grammy winning smooth jazz keyboardist, producer and pianist, originally from the Washington, D.C.-Bowie, Maryland area. He experimented with drums, guitar, trumpet and keyboards as a child, but it was not until his teens that he pursued music professionally as a pianist, having played with the award winning Bowie High School Starliners big band.He was an early synthesizer proponent at age 16, owning one of the first Minimoogs and co-founded the fusion group East Coast Offering with former Air Force Airmen of Note saxophonist Tim Eyermann, becoming DC's top original jazz/rock band. He then went on to form Natural Bridge with Shannon Ford, Carl Cable and Wink Robinson; later members included Michael Manring, Gerry Kunkel, Joe Dougherty and Steve Bloom on percussion. Gradually, since moving to Los Angeles in 1982 he developed a melodic and soulful style of music that made him a mainstay on smooth jazz and radio circuit.[citation needed]Karukas is known to write music that evokes strong emotions. Gregg has received multiple Best Keyboardist nominations at the Oasis and National Smooth Jazz Awards. Two of his best-known singles, "Girl in the Red Dress" and "Nightshift", reflect a style familiar to his fans.

Gregg also co-wrote sax star Jessy J.'s #1 hit "Tropical Rain". With eleven solo albums and many sessions and tours with prominent jazz artists, Gregg Karukas has established himself as one of the leading composers and musicians of the format.[citation needed] Gregg was an original member of the Rippingtons, recording their 1987 Moonlighting CD and he has toured through the years with superstars Boney James, Sergio Mendes, Melissa Manchester and Larry Carlton.
