About the Artist

Greg Utech has been playing the drums for 24 years in various musical genres including jazz, rock and fusion. He has a strong theatre background and has written scores for the stage.

Spank features producer, Rick Matle, on guitar, percussion and bass. Phil Kelly, well-known Detroit pianist, adds his keyboard artistry. Guest artists include Sheila Landis, a Detroit fixture on vocals; and Walt Szymanski, Detroit-native-now-New-Yorker, who lends his trumpet talents to the title track, "Spank." Mark Rutkowski’s audio diary of his sojourn to Bali graces several songs on the CD as well.

Brent Harris’ artwork features illustrations of his sculpted works, Robot Chicks ©.

Product Description

Short wave has been around for a long time. But, Detroit-area songwriter, Greg Utech, has given the radio communication term a new meaning. Utech’s compact disc entitled Spank has meshed artistry and technology to bring forth a musical offering that’s both impressive and innovative. The CD is sound, smooth and enjoyable. And, it makes a strong statement.

In stepping away from typical production, Utech uses a fluent mixture of unique sounds from untraditional sources such as short wave radio, audio travelogues and sound-snippet archives blended with electronics and conventional musical instruments. Jazz lovers and techno fans alike will want this CD in their collection.
