Indigo City

It's no secret that the right kind of music can simulate sensation.
Welcome to Indigo City's Samba Electrique CD, ten original
instrumentals that blend the passion of Brazil with the popularity
of contemporary jazz.
Guitarist Russ Corvey leads this gifted ensemble, which has rapidly
developed a loyal following from their many concert and festival dates
around the country, and they attribute this success to Indigo City's
enthusiastic commitment to its music. "Our audience sees this excitement
in our performance," said Corvey. "We seem to fit comfortably with smooth
jazz radio, but what's important is that we really enjoy what we're doing."
There are flashes of familiarity: a hint of Spyro Gyra here, a touch of
Peter White there. But while other performers have explored the vistas of
contemporary jazz, few have ventured to the tropical soundscape of Indigo City.
"Altos de Chavon" quickly establishes Indigo City's signature sound.
The melancholy of the soprano sax is answered with calming reassurance
by perfectly timed guitar lines.
"Plan B" and "On The Other Hand" ignite a sense of urgency that conjures
up the pulse of Rio after dark, while "My Nicole" is as refreshing as guarana on ice.
"Biscayne Morning" and "That Saturday Song" showcase the group's cohesive style
and musical sensitivity, while the playful, poetic rap that introduces to us to
"September Samba" shows that the language spoken in Indigo City falls easy on the ears.
Did we mention irresistible? A copy of Samba Electrique found its way
into the hands of the organizers for Switzerland's prestigous Montreux
Jazz Festival and the result was an invitation to perform, not once but four
times. Performing in front of thousands of international jazz fans and journalists,
it's a springboard to worldwide recognition - one that will surely put Indigo City on the map.
