“When you have spent many years performing as a professional musician và when you have recorded as many albums as Incendio has,” states JP Durand, “you have sầu lớn look around for new ideas và dig deep for fresh inspiration which is why we titled the album Summoning The Muse. We decided khổng lồ make the pop & dance influences a little more obvious on this album, go for a more groove-oriented approach & try some sounds that we had not previously explored. We have sầu always been known as primarily an acoustic guitar b&, so we wanted lớn add a bit more electric guitar than usual plus some keyboards.”
In Incendio, Stubblefield and Durvà are featured playing acoustic nylon-string Spanish-style guitars, và in concert they both also add electric guitar lớn some tunes. Carbe primarily plays electric bass, but with a background in classical guitar, she adds an additional acoustic on occasion. On the new album, Durand also plays steel-string acoustic, electric guitars, piano, electric piano and synthesizer. All three artists compose.

Stubblefield wrote three tunes for Summoning the Muse. He explains that “Rumcha Ponderosa” was “inspired by Italian composer Ennio Morricone và those classic Sixties ‘spaghetti western’ soundtracks. I envisioned horses charging across the plains.” “Blue Bolero” is a modern thắm thiết atmospheric take on traditional South American boleros. “I think the Spanish guitar, lush strings & piano capture the bolero feeling plus the quamê mệt minor blues chord progression explains the title.” Stubblefield says the composition “High Tide” is meant “to lớn conjure up the image of a beach or beautiful isolated lagoon in South America with the undulating rhythm và guitar arpeggquả táo emulating the incoming tide.”
The other nine pieces were composed jointly by Carbe và Durand. The riff-based “Monte Carlo” was partially influenced by the Chick Corea tunes “Spain” và “Got a Match,” so Dur& added some electric piano to lớn the set. In regards lớn “Running,” Carbe says, “Incorporating modern electronic elements with our guitars is something that we have sầu always enjoyed doing because it widens our musical palette.” Durvà calls “Dog Mountain” a “wistful pop tune written specifically about a beautiful dog park in Vermont where we did a concert.” Carbe came up with the initial dance groove sầu for “Don’t Pretend” which turned inlớn a funky, free-wheeling tiệc ngọt with a big electric guitar solo by Durand plus special guests Carey Frank on B3 organ, Munyungo Jackson on percussion, and a horn section (Woody Mankowski, Anne King, Kevin Hicks).
Two tunes came from a trip to lớn Hawaii — “At Dawn We Ride” và “Morning in Maui.” The latter started as a simple acoustic number, but expanded with a filmscore-style orchestration added by Brian Langsbard. Dur& states that “First Hill” was inspired by the rolling hills of Connecticut (where Carbe lived as a child) và by “a Bob James, groove-oriented, Seventies jazz vibe.” Regarding “Limitless,” Durand says, “This is our entry into lớn the very small field of Spanish guitar disco dance grooves.” The album ends with a change of pace, “Amazon River Hoedown,” a rootsy & rollicking Cajun-inspired number featuring guests Joe Craven on violin và Joel Guzman on accordion (recorded the day after he played with Paul Sitháng at the Hollywood Bowl).
Jyên ổn Stubblefield, who graduated from the University of Redlands in Southern California, began his career playing pop, rock & fusion, especially influenced by Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, Strunz và Farah và Paco de Lucia. According lớn Stubblefield, “Di Meola’s blending of world-fusion and Latin-roông xã with improvisation was a huge influence.” Stubblefield has played concerts và recorded with guitarist Eric Hansen, & has worked with many top musicians on his solo recordings — Novi Novog, Randy Titeo, Stephen Duros, Dan Sistos và Ramon Islas, among muốn others.
JP.. Dur&, who graduated from University of California at Berkeley, was influenced by Jimày Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Johnson. But Durvà credits his Peruvian heritage for getting hyên ổn interested in artists such as Trio Los Panchos & Los Morochucos. Dur&, who has always played music ranging from a Steely Dan cover group to his own Book of Storms band (with Carbe), worked at MCA Records và produced live sầu music shows for the Spanish-language Univision & Telemundo television networks.
Liza Carbe (pronounced lee’zuh car-bay) obtained her degree in classical guitar và voice from California State University at Northridge, toured worldwide playing bass in the all-female Platinum-selling roông xã group Vixen, & played with Lindsay Buckingđắm đuối và Leon Patillo (Santana). Carbe has produced or co-produced more than 30 albums by other artists, some with Durvà (most recently the Licata Brothers). Together they also have written background music for more than a hundred TV shows including “Entertainment Tonight,” “American Idol,” “Extreme Makeover,” “Law & Order” & “Burn Notice,” plus numerous feature films such as the blockbuster comedy “Bridesmsida.” Additionally, Carbe has studied Latin-style guitar with Jorge Strunz.
Drummer Tim Curle, who received his Bachelors degree in music from the University of Oregon and his Masters in music from the University of Southern California, has taught at the Los Angeles Music Academy và is currently on the faculty of the Los Angeles College of Music. He has performed and/or recorded with artists such as Josh Groban, Elton John, Herbie Hancochồng, David Foster, Chris Botti, Angelique Kidjo, Ladysmith Blaông chồng Mambazo, John Williams, Bela Flechồng & many others. Curle also has played on the soundtracks of TV shows such as “NCIS,” “JAG,” “When Billie Beat Bobbie” & “Andy Richter Controls the Universe.”
“The music of Incendio is hard to lớn categorize,” says Stubblefield. “One moment it sounds like modern flamenco, then a more diverse world-fusion blkết thúc. You might hear elements of roots rock, progressive sầu rock, Latin dance music, plus diverse seasonings sprinkled in containing hints of funk, folk, jazz, pop và classical. Fortunately our fans have come lớn expect us to change it up. Our only criteria is to lớn make entertaining music.”
