“Ocean Parkway”
THE NEW SINGLE - Coming October 10, 2025!
Pianist/composer Al DeGregoris has, throughout his 15-year recording career, been powerfully impacted by the concept of time. Starting with his 2008 debut album Three Before Midnight, the titles of his projects are Times and Travels, All in Good Time, Time and a Half, and Time Sensitive. His latest venture into that colorful realm, his new single “Ocean Parkway,” is yet another ultra- fresh, buoyant showcase for his sparkling ivory work and trademark intuitive sense of whimsical, funky melodic excitement.
On his newest project, we find DeGregoris vibing once again with #1 Billboard charting keyboard artist/producer Oli Silk, and they get into the powerhouse groove action immediately! Inspired by the iconic coastal drive along Long Island’s Ocean Parkway, the song captures the freedom, energy, and laid-back sophistication of a seaside escape. With DeGregoris’ signature keyboard artistry layered over Silk’s crisp, contemporary production, “Ocean Parkway” blends smooth jazz elegance with a feel-good, modern edge.
“This song is about the joy of the journey — the open road, the ocean by your side, and music as the soundtrack to it all,” says DeGregoris. “Working with Oli was the perfect match to bring that vision to life.”
DeGregoris, known for his melodic sensibility and dynamic performances, has earned acclaim for previous releases on the contemporary jazz charts. “Ocean Parkway” continues his tradition of crafting music that resonates with fans of both classic smooth jazz and today’s evolving sound.
