Greg Chako - Christmas Time (Live In Izu Nagaoka) '2023

Tracks list

In a pro career spanning 35 years and five countries, Cincinnati-born jazz
guitarist Greg Chako has released 14 albums and been the subject of a
documentary called, “An American Cat in the Lion City,” which is
based on his prolific recording and performance career in the Far East where he
evolved into a masterful, expressive composer with rich story telling abilities.
His varied arrangements and over 70 recorded original compositions merge
Mainstream, Hard Bop, Latin & World music. His music has spent time on the
Jazzweek, CMJ and RMR Jazz Charts, including multiple Top Ten spots, and has
consistently received critical acclaim from the Jazz community.

In 2022, he signed with Mint 400 Records and Raining Music, which has set him on
track to exceed his recording success in Asia. He released a brand new album
featuring primarily Cincinnati-based musicians, Friends, Old and New in late
2022, and his album released in May 2023, A Place for Bass, has gained glowing
reviews from Dave Stryker, Rufus Reid, Peter Bernstein, John Clayton, and many
others. Yokohama Live! came out Sept. ’23 and Xmas Time - Live in Izu
Nagaoka comes out later in Dec. ’23. The Greg Chako Trio, with Michael
Meloy on drums, Steve Thornton (formerly w/Miles Davis) on percussion and Mason
Daugherty on bass are finished tracking the newest album of Chako originals
titled, Life After 40, which will come out January 5th, 2024, and will be
Chako’s 16th album.
