Greg Walker’s fifth album, Caffè Gio (April 2016) features ten compositions blending latin and jazz flavours with laid-back, thematic, atmospheric and chilled grooves. The penultimate track - Rio Geo, Revisited - is a reinterpretation of his original piece, Rio Geo, which appeared on Straight From The Source 1 and is often cited as a favourite from that album. Seven-time multi-category finalist and semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Contest in categories as diverse as instrumental, acoustic, pop and jazz & blues, guitarist/composer Greg Walker’s jazz and latin-infused instrumentals helped his albums Straight From The Source 1 and Straight From The Source 2 achieve success in the mp3 Jazz and Brazilian jazz charts, with SFTS1 holding the no.1 slot for several weeks during the mid-2000s. Straight From The Source 2 was released in 2006, with the track I Should Know By Now also reaching the finals of the Instrumental category in that year’s UK Songwriting Contest. End Of Summer (January 2012) again featured several tracks that reached the semi-finals in the UK Songwriting Contest. The 12 instrumental compositions from September 2015’s release, Mosaic, drew on a range of influences from latin, Brazilian and jazz to film scores, finger style guitar and more. Three tracks from Mosaic reached the finals and semi-finals of the 2015 edition of the internationally renowned UK Songwriting Contest. Greg also co-wrote the soul dancefloor hit, Second Opinion (performed by Victor Haynes and included on the album Soul Togetherness 2009, together with tracks by Chaka Khan, Incognito and others).
