Band Bio: Together again, after a hiatus of ten years, UTL is back with the freshest, most compelling smooth jazz release of the year - People Together. People Together is filled with energy- inspired by UTL's enthusiastically-received reunion in 2005 (their first live performance in 8 years) at the Columbia City Theater in Seattle. On this year's release, they again deftly demonstrate their unique crafting of upbeat, joyful melodies and grooving hooks. Their new release "People Together" has been on the Smooth Jazz Indie Radio Chart for 11 weeks and is receiving radio airplay throughout the country. SmoothJazz.com has called Under The Lake “effervescent, vivacious and all-together engaging. Under The Lake has achieved quite an accomplishment with PEOPLE TOGETHER... there are 14 tracks on the CD and every one is flawless and thoroughly gratifying. Critically-acclaimed, Under The Lake's list of credits include two previous internationally distributed releases and live performances with a "who's who" list of jazz artists. Under The Lake have received immense critical praise in local, regional, national, and international publications including JazzTimes, Jazziz, France's Jazz Hot, Canada's Exclaim, Germany's Cascade, as well as The New York Daily News, UTNE Reader, and The Music Paper. UTL received a four star rating for UTL's 1996 release "Up For Air" from the All Music Guide. UTL has many other notable accomplishments including: nominations for Best Pop-Jazz Album and Best Pop-Jazz Group in the 1994 San Diego Music Awards; “Up For Air” was listed by WBJB (NY/NJ) as one of the top 10 releases for 1996; Black Entertainment Television's BET on Jazz included the song “The Slider” on their Jazz Discoveries CD released and distributed by BMG Direct (1997); Radio and syndicated broadcast of songs from both CDs nationally and internationally; 1994 release “Dive In” was listed as Chartbound for 5 weeks on Gavin's NAC tracking.   Read Less »
