"Being fairly new to the music genre of Smooth Jazz, I just recently came across this album and Gregg Karukas and listened to the 1 min samples offered on the Trippin Rhythm website - I just loved the sound of Gregg's music, so I bought this album. It is wonderful from beginning to end in my opinion. All the tracks are great, my personal favourites being "Looking Up" and "Girl in the Red Dress" and "Isabella", which to me is everything a smooth jazz piece should be and more - this song is beautiful - buy this album, if only for this one track!!"
Again???

"The question I ask is, "How does he do it?" Gregg Karukas has done it again. What has he done? He's created another masterpiece. You don't often find a CD where every song on the disk has the potential to be a hit. I have found that with Gregg Karukas, you get more than you pay for. Anyone who wants to venture into the smooth jazz arena would do well to start with Gregg Karukas. Looking Up is just another stellar performance in a long list of great CD's from Gregg. "Girl in The Red Dress" kicks it off with a bang and the smoothness never stops. No matter how many times you listen to this CD, it never wanes. You say you're traveling and need a nice CD to listen to, this is it. You're chillin' out by the fire with that special someone, this is it. You're entertaining guess at a dinner party, this is it. In other words, this CD fit any and every occasion. If it's not a part of your collection yet, stop wasting your time and get it. You won't be disappointed at all!!!"
Best album yet

"I've been a fan of Gregg Karukas for many years, and his albums just keep getting better. This is a fine creation that I enjoy more every time I listen to it. The tunes are relaxing without being mediocre, contain a complexity that invites repeated plays, and varied enough to appeal to different moods on different days. I enjoyed "Girl in the Red Dress" from the beginning, but as time goes on "Deep into You" has become my favorite, and although I didn't realize it at first, "Lost in Negril" is a wonderful creation that takes me back to fond memories of that part of the world."
Great Jazz!

"I had heard one of the songs on this cd before and decided to take a chance and buy the cd. I'm glad I did. This is smooth jazz at it's best. Easy to listen too and great in the car on the way home from work. Just what you need to listen to while all that road rage is going on around you!"
Doesn't get any better than this!

"This is an incredible CD! A masterpiece of smooth jazz! Gregg treats us to one of the most enjoyable collection of songs, incredible really! Every song on this CD is great, having it's own unique groove. Gregg employs some incredible guitarists on this project, each guitarist blending his unique style with Gregg's keyboards. This has become my favorite CD, I play it over and over and still love it! I WOULD NOT be without this CD, it is a true work of genius. I liked Gregg Karukas before, but now I LOVE Gregg Karukas. This is a 10 out of 10, you can't go wrong! If you buy this CD and do not love it, you are hopeless!"
