The retro-swing unit Indigo Swing were formed in San Francisco around the sextet of vocalist Johnny Boyd, guitarist Josh Workman, bassist Vance Ehlers, drummer "Big Jim" Overton, pianist William Beatty and saxophone player Baron Shul. After kick-starting northern California's new school of swing, the group began touring around America and signed to Time Bomb Recordings in 1997. The group's debut All Aboard was released in July 1998. They followed with Red Light in 1999. ~bio by John Bush

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.

Recorded at Mobius Music Recordings, San Francisco, and Capitol Records, Studio B, Hollywood, California.

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).

All Aboard!
