Residing in New York City for 10 years, Greg Ruggiero has emerged as one of the most sought after jazz guitarists in the city. Ruggiero has stylistically run the gambit in the idiom of jazz music, from complex original compositions to the American songbook and Swing. His love for the jazz tradition has led him to perform and learn from some of the great jazz masters from the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s still playing in New York.
Currently Ruggiero performs weekly with Duke Ellington drum legend, Steve Little. Greg can be seen nearly every night performing as a sideman or leader around the city. He has performed at many of the top clubs including Birdland, the Jazz Standard, Smalls, and the Jazz Gallery.
Greg has performed with such artists as Bill Crow, Michael Kanan, Frank Morgan, Greg Osby, Mark Turner, Jane Monhiet, and Luisa Sobral. His music has allowed him to perform in Japan, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Switzerland. As a leader, Ruggiero has two records on the Fresh Sound/ New Talent label. As side man, he has recorded on over twenty albums. Greg has recorded on vocalist Luisa Sobral’s debut record, on Universal Records, saxophonist Logan Richardson’s “Ethos” for Greg Osby’s Inner Circle Records and a multitude of independent releases by numerous artists.
As a guest artist and clinician, he was the featured artist at the Canjazz Festival in Galicia, Spain. He was also clinician at the Academy of Creative Education in Los Angeles, California, the Crossties Jazz Festival at Delta State University in Mississippi, and the University of New Mexico.
