A collaboration of some of New York's
behind-the-scene's musical heavyweights, Ultrablue offers up
R&B-tinged smooth jazz with Big Apple attitude. The primary creative
force behind their unique sound is pianist/producer John Smatla, a
well-seasoned musician with hefty experience in both the pop and jazz
worlds, and Dave Stryker, an acclaimed jazz guitarist and reputable
sideman, with more than a few A-listers on his track record. Smatla,
having cut his teeth with pop groups like Quiet Riot and Debbie Gibson
before shifting focus to the smooth jazz world, brings a valuable pop
sensibility to the table. Stryker has an impressive history, holding the
guitar slot with Stanley Turrentine for nine years, and playing and
recording with headliners Eliane Elias and Kevin Mahogany. Ultrablue's
lineup is filled out with a number of recognizable names, like Latin
jazzer John Benitez, vocalist/percussionist Phillip Hamilton, and
saxophonist David Mann. This is their second release as Ultrablue, and
features some very notable guests: flautist Nestor Torres and Randy
Brecker lend their considerable talents and name recognition to the
pool. With interesting harmonies and effective, memorable, melodic
hooks, not to mention the production, which has been buffed to a high
gloss, Ultrablue's sound is both catchy and sophisticated. A surefire
win with smooth jazz crowds. -- Evan C. Gutierrez 提取码 c58h
