This album Blue Touch is one of the best albums from Gregg Karukas. He plays with smooth jazz stars such like Peter White, Boney James, Erick Marienthal and he's one of the best keybordists in jazz. He began as one of the original Rippingtons, and he has a successful career as solist. This CD should not be missing in a collection of good smooth jazz lovers!

Gregg Karukas is one the major keyboards in smooth jazz at this time and probably Blue touch may be one of his greatest achievements.. This album has no holes.
Blue touch is a solid work, with many interesting tracks. My favorite one is Fly away. However you'll be widely reward with this buy. Every track is carefully played, with a sense of rhytm and harmony as a few.
Karukas belongs to a selected dinasty of keyboard players that never let you down , because he renews in every work he throws.
Undobtly a musician with a huge foture, because his skillness, wide sense of the form and over all he never lets you dissapointed.
He and Brian Culbertson are from now the great white hope in smooth jazz keyboard.

A SURPRISINGLY WELL PRODUCED BLEND,AURALLY AROUSING.A PLEASANT SURPRISE IF YOU'RE A NOVICE SMOOTH JAZZ LISTENER,LIKE MYSELF.THIS IS DEFINITELY AN AFTER WORK STRESS-BUSTER,CAN LEND ITSELF TO A ROMANTIC SETTING AS WELL.YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS.I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A COLLABORATION WITH MICHAEL FRANKS,NAJEE,CRAIG T. COOPER,AND SADE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

former rippingtons keyboardist gregg karukas serves up a palatable dish of smooth seductive jazz sounds. while lacking the exuberant upbeat approach of his mentors the rippingtons it's still an alluring recording to snuggle up with someone you love and let the magic flow through.

Gregg Karukas just keeps getting better with each release. Outstanding smooth jazz! "Blue Touch" is perfect for a breezy day on the boat or at the beach. The sounds are fresh and roll along with ease, as the music seems to flow from his fingertips. Not a bad tune on the entire disk. Azure Dreaming is the ultimate stress reducer. I now own every Gregg Karukas CD, and never tire of hearing them. They hold up amazingly well. Smooth jazz at its absolute finest. I highly recommend!!!

This CD is the bomb-diggity! I'm telling you...every husband and wife needs a copy of this CD. Ok, I won't go there. Gregg is definitely as smooth as they come. His piano playing is top notch and so are the collaborations. This is definitely a must have for musicians.

If you like You'll Know It's Me, you gotta have this album. Gregg Karukas here displays the sound you can love if you've heard him live. "Azure Dreaming" sets the pace right, not too mellow, not too hot. You'll love Cruizin' At Midnight, it sounds like the title suggests. Contemporary Jazz at its best. Great tunes to listen to with your special someone.

This cd is a winner from beginning to end beautiful piano a perfect blend of music like a chefs salad! I can't wait for Gregg's next work!

The best so far from Gregg Karukas, if you like good keyboard contemporary jazz this is a must have album.

I have been following this artist for awhile from his performances with Bonny James to his solo career. He has great talent and is on my "A" list for live concerts. Knowone will be disappointed...
