Description:

With his first solo piano album, Grammy winner Gregg Karukas dazzles, not with piano pyrotechnics, but with subtle nuance and a deep love for this music. A mix of original compositions along with piano impressions of Brazilian artists Milton Nascimento, Clube da Esquina and Dori Caymmi, Karukas clearly demonstrates that, in the right hands, great music (and great musicianship!) defies genres and categories to enrich the ears and hearts of anyone willing to take some time to listen. Serenata is sure to be one of the best and most honored albums of 2021! - Kathy Parsons - MainlyPiano. Com. "Serenata" is the definition of solo piano heaven. It is easy to tell that this is an artist on the very top of his game. It has moved me deeply, and several of the pieces here will be included in our permanent playlist, to play for years and years. Fantastic work. BT Fasmer - New Age Music Guide. "Serenata" is a pleasant surprise,... very lyrical. It comes through that you really "get" the music and have a deep appreciation of these songs. Karukas - a longtime collaborator with the likes of Dori Caymmi and Sergio Mendes - not only has the discerning taste to pick these songs to interpret, but also the chops and the right sensibility to interpret them for a new generation. Chris McGowan- Author of: The Brazilian Sound and The Brazilian Music Book
