Performer Notes:

• 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 Beattys fine rockin piano along with Johnny "The Swing Lover" Boyds insinuatingly weaselly vocals.

Professional Reviews: Dirty Linen (4-5/99, p.59) - "...this outing clicks fabulously. The vocals are strong and sinewy, the horns snake through the tight rhythm section with panache and the tales they tell...are steeped in fast living and faster loving..."
