Indigo Swing: Johnny Boyd (vocals); Josh Workman (guitar, background vocals); Baron Shul (tenor & baritone saxophones); William Beatty (piano, background vocals); Vance Ehlers (acoustic bass); "Big Jim" Overton (drums). Engineers: Christian Jones, Oliver DiCiccio, Mark Linett. Recorded at Mobius Music Recordings, San Francisco, and Capitol Records, Studio B, Hollywood, California. In the fin-de-siecle dance clubs, Swing is the thing. Indigo Swing is a San Francisco outfit which has been working the neo-swing circuit non-stop. Actually, '90s swing is less a recreation of Artie Shaw-era Big Band music than the proto-R&B jump bands which followed in its wake. On ALL ABOARD!, Indigo Swing mixes originals and obscure "territory" gems ("Hot In Harlem," "Violent Love") in a relaxed yet driving style that does Louis Jordan proud. Special mention should go to William Beatty's fine rockin' piano along with Johnny "The Swing Lover" Boyd's insinuatingly weaselly vocals.
