Greg Spero is an American jazz pianist based in Chicago, IL. As an award-winning jazz musician and composer, Spero is recognized mainly for modern Jazz, as well as jazz fusion, and for his accomplishments in instrumental hip-hop and electronic music. He has performed with acclaimed musicians such as Arturo Sandoval, Corey Wilkes, and Robert Irving III, co-produced tracks with Ski Beatz and Shock G,[1] produced for pop and hip-hop artists such as Murs and Mos Def, written music scores for movie and theater productions in Chicago, and recorded on worldwide best selling jazz albums. In 2010, Spero was nominated for the title of "Best Jazz Album" at the Chicago Music Awards. The young musician’s complex and developed discography is more reminiscent of that of a performer twice his age, which has helped earn Spero recognition as one of the premiere up-and-coming pianists out of Chicago. In early 2012, Spero was asked to join the rhythm section of the Buddy Rich Big Band as their regular pianist. Since then, he has had the opportunity to tour with the band, most recently to the United Kingdom, where the band headlined for the “Buddy Rich 25th Memorial Concert” in London. Spero's trio recently returned from a tour of Europe celebrating their recent CD release, "Acoustic", which has received radioplay on most major US jazz stations, and many stations in Europe.
