Need Opinions: Music of Greg Utech
It is difficult to characterize Greg Utech’s music. The term Nu Jazz doesn’t fully describe it because the creative work of Greg Utech goes beyond the borders and boundaries. As you listen to his album Concrete Jungles
One account tries to describe Utech’s unique approach, saying:
“You just want to listen to Greg Utech’s music time and again without any
evaluations and comparisons. His music isn’t similar to anyone else. It is very
individual and particular. The artist masterfully expresses his personal feelings.”
Sensual female voice and saxophone, slightly melancholic piano and keyboards, tuneful guitar, passionate percussion and rhythmic drums join together to form a charming and thoughtful environment. This music is full of modern world’s grooves and voices and it, also, brings a new look at our urbanized everyday reality. You will undoubtedly make many unexpected and remarkable discoveries in Concrete Jungles

I have been a musician for over 25 years in the Detroit area. Mostly on drums, but I can “mingle” with most any instrument. I have released three discs to date and I appeared on Rick Matle’s CD “Ears Wide Shut.” I just released my third disc, “Concrete Jungles.”
I started playing drums almost 30 years ago, and saxophone almost 40 years. Music has been a large part of my life for as long as I can remember. Phil Kelly has always been my mentor. We met shortly after high school and started to play in bands together. “Providence” was the first band. (The full name was “Newlywed Providence Blowtorch Aliens and the names went downhill from there.)
