NYC keyboardist, composer and producer John Smatla has been an unstoppable force in Smooth Jazz since resurrecting his popular 2000s cosmopolitan global fusion collective Ultrablue with the rerelease of their self-titled album in 2023. Following singles paying homage to Earl Klugh and Herbie Hancock and others featuring Randy Brecker and Chieli Minucci, the Ultrablue vibe continues its full-on captivation of our senses with the latest, "Something Like Summer," a sensual and breezy, Brazilian flavored romantic gem that makes the perfect seasonal soundtrack. In addition to Smatla's stellar trademark piano playing, the instantly engaging tune also features the seductive vocals of Argentinian singer, the great Gabriela Anders, and a sexy sax solo courtesy of fellow New Yorker and longtime musical collaborator, Pete Belasco!
