Info for Jazz, Groove & Attitude
A blend of funk, jazz and neo-soul...the Crusaders meets Steely Dan. A golden moment in this modern era of jazz". Under The Lake has been called "...effervescent, vivacious, and all-together engaging" by smoothjazz.com, considered "...possibly the next best thing since Spyro Gyra..." by Joe Montague (JazzPolice.com), and called "the most comfortable way to be engrossed in music" by Susan Frances (jazzreview.com). Under The Lake 25 years of credits include four internationally-distributed albums.
"Marrying jazz and funk in that dancing, jubilant manner often associated with the hard-driving, bottom-heavy persona of that musical hybrid, this album guides you through a solidly-structured house of groove with a balanced approach of melody, musicianship, and catchy hooks." (The Smooth Jazz Ride)
John Moak, trombone
David Evans, tenor saxophone
Evan Mustard, guitar
Kenny Franklin, bass
Jayson Tipp, keyboards
