Search - Greg Chako :: Integration I

Whether it's the be-bop of 'Funky Monkey' or the gentle acoustic flow of 'Smooth Ride' ala Joe Pass, this collection of songs has something for everyone's taste. Every jazz discipline, or parts thereof, is given an acknowledgement. Chako is up to the task on the electric or acoustic six-string, allowing the necessary elasticity for each song to build upon itself and congeal. After over 130 minutes of a trip around the jazz galaxy, I think it's safe to say that Greg Chako and his magnificent band are one of the world's best kept secrets. The word is now out; don't hesitate in seeking out this essential jazz experience." - Keith 'MuzikMan' Hannaleck, JazzReviews, USA, 2002
