Keith Greko's international credits include Ronnie Scott's in London, The Metropole in Amsterdam, Kokopelli Jazz Club in Florence and Hotel Covadonga in Barcelona. He has performed with stars such as Joe Williams, Clark Terry, Lee Konitz, Blue Mitchell, Sonny Stitt, Jon Faddis, Richie Cole, Louie Bellson, Bud Shank and Buddy DeFranco. After moving west in the 1960s, he became music director and house pianist for the Phoenix Playboy Club. Keith Greko's quartet album features tenor saxophonist Jerry Donato, flutist Joe Corral (two tracks), three different rhythm sections, and something new - three Greko vocals, reminiscent of Chet Baker. He also performed extensively in clubs and for concerts throughout the United States, as well as festivals including Sedona Jazz on the Rocks (eight years), Glendale Peacock, Phoenix and Scottsdale jazz festivals. He attended Augustana College in Rock Island until drafted into the Army during World War II, and was an arranger for a 17-piece dance band. He began studying piano at age 8 and, after 10 years of classical training, turned to jazz. He has taught jazz clinics for high schools and universities, and received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Jazz in Arizona in 1994 for invaluable contributions to jazz.
