John Smatla, a native of Cleveland, Ohio, did some great music jobs as keyboardist in NY. Dave Stryker, originally from Omaha, Nebraska, is a well-established guitarist in NY's jazz scene. His other projects are Stryker Slage band, The Blue To The Bone band, Trio Mundo, The Shades Project and The Dave Stryker Big Band.
Ultrablue is the living proof that established jazz musicians are no jazz purists and also like to play melodious smooth jazz. Their first album was "Dusked 2 Dawn", released in April 2003 on the Khaeon label. A label with the impetus to release the music of jazz professionals which are hardly instantly recognizable to the general public because they are mostly playing in the second row behind the jazz giants. The farsightedness of Khaeon unfortunately wasn't paired with economical success. That lead to the decision to change to a different label. The new album is released by 215 Records, a label with more promotional power and a roster of successful smooth jazz artists like Soul Ballet, e.s.t., Bob Baldwin, Steve Briody, Greg Adams, Gene Dunlap and more.

Great review, as always Alexander! Full of detail, explanation and passion. I love the look of this watch. I can bet if this came in 40mm case size, it will sell like nobodies business, especially if the 3-rings can have that tri-colore Zenith identity.
But the star is clearly....theat 9004 movement. One of my favourite movements, very unique and a very true to Zenith DNA.
Superb!
WatchAdvisor
Thank you! The 9004 is quite big... I'm not sure if it would fit in a 40 mm case 100 meter waterproof ..

Another of your great Zenith videos.
While I love the titanium bracelet on my Defy Skeleton I love the strap on both this and the one on the ultraviolet.
I love it too. Such a fun watch.
WatchAdvisor
Thank you for the the positive feedback and sharing your thoughts with us... May your Defy always show you HAPPY seconds, minutes and hours...

@WatchAdvisor I owned a chronomaster el primero blue dial with an opened heart. I so deeply in love with it till now. I always feel u are getting so much of a watch from Zenith......

I love Zenith, I love underdogs... bought the defy classic 3 weeks ago and love it to bits. I only wish the bracelet would have half links to make it fit well. Now the watch is unwearable for me because of this. Zenith MUST finish their watches in total, not only the watch itself but the bracelet as well. It’s going to make me think again next time I am in the market for a watch. Customer satisfaction is key for returning customers, especially foe the underdogs, they need to go the extra mile. Alexander, you are a crusader for letting us see the watches in person. I hope you don’t mind me for having this little rant, but I hope Zenith gets to read this and acknowledge what their customers’ experience is with their products...

@WatchAdvisor Dear Alexander, i was kinda hoping for a reaction, but did not expect this! It is mighty nice and nobel what you did. I will not forget this.

I just forwarded your comment to Julien Tornare, the CEO of Zenith... I'll keep you posted...
