"Warren was a talent that
made people say the same thing over and over..."he's so great but he doesn't seem to
want to be a "star"... but I sure would love to have him sing on my album."
So goes the classic studio singer. Warren was certainly appreciated by so many great
people in LA, especially David Foster who kept
him busy on lots of projects. Always unassuming and slightly disheveled, Warren would open
his mouth to sing and blow people away with his soulfulness and power. He did his usual
incredible performance on Mike Gealers "Father to Son" and was always modest
to a fault about his talent." Gregg Karukas
About
Gregg Karukas...
Gregg Karukas is one of those rare smooth jazz artists whose unique sound and natural
approach to both composing and performing encapsulate all the charms, appeal, and
excitement of his genre. A native of Washington D.C., Gregg moved to L.A. in 1983, hoping
to expand his multi-keyboard style by playing with other artists. In the mid-'80s, he
cultivated long term friendships and professional associations with, among others, Richard
Elliot, Brenda Russell or David Benoit. In addition to his career as a performing
musician, Gregg has produced tracks for artists such as Phil Sheeran, Mike Gealer, the
Pointer Sisters or Brian Bromberg. As a songwriter, his tunes have been recorded by George
Benson, Deniece Williams, Kenia, Pauline Wilson and many others. Gregg has also released
four solo albums, which features an all-star cast of musicians, including Boney James,
Richard Elliot, Dave Koz, Eric Marienthal or Everette Harp. |
