"If you're looking for a cookie-cutter, formulaic Smooth Jazz recording, start looking elsewhere. That being said, I view the fact that Incendio doesn't fit into any mold as a positive thing. Fresh and vibrant, SEDUCTION, their 5th release, is akin to sitting in a smoky bar and then stepping out into pure mountain air... just breathe it all in and relish the liberation. Based in Los Angeles, the trio (Jean-Pierre Durand on guitar and keyboards; Jim Stubblefield on guitar; and Liza Carbe on bass and guitar) perform extensively throughout the country with the Catalina Jazz Festival, the Strawberry Folk Music Festival in Yosemite, the Verizon Music Festival in L.A., the Sundance Film Festival and the NAB and NATPE Conventions in Las Vegas being just some of the highlights. Their music has been heard on television shows (i.e.: HBO's "Resurrection Boulevard") and radio stations throughout the world. Scorching and resplendent with vitality from the very start, "Isla Verde" exudes passion and tangible electricity. Equally delicate and turbulent, "Secret Traveler" is another standout track. Many layers of exquisite showmanship had me hitting the repeat button several times. Steeped in romance, both "Malaga Sunset" and "Ledges Road" are beguiling and hypnotic and not to be missed. Incendio couldn't have chosen a more apt title for this release, as SEDUCTION is truly just that... a seduction of both the ears and heart. ~ BETH LEWIS"
Refreshing and Seducing!

"Seduction is a refreshing new addition to the Incendio collection. It combines the familiar fiery latin guitar with a more mellow and slightly jazzy new sound. The listener is taken on a musical journey around the world with the help of many new influences. The lyrical guitar work of Jim and JP provide the listener with a relaxing musical expierence, while the heart and soul are stimulated by amazing percussion and the passionate bass style of Liza. Anyone familiar with Incendio will enjoy the refreshing new sound of Seduction, and those who are new to the Incendio expierence will never listen to music the same way again."
Incendio re-invents itself again.

"I bought their first CD "Misterioso" back in 2000 and I thought they were a "nuevo flamenco" type group like Novamenco or Armik, but I was wrong. These guys are always pushing the envelope. From guitar trio, to electronica/trance (on the "Illumination" CD)to in-your-face guitar solo trading to romantic ballads these guys are just great songwriters.
This CD is a little more "contemporary jazz", but there is still alot of fiery playing and interesting arrangents. Worth a listen."

"Incendio is an incredibly solid band. You can have them play all day - all weekend - and all year and never tire of them. They are AMAZING live and their music is unbelievably danceable - and I don't even claim to have ever danced anywhere else before.
Pick it up and buy it - they are so passionate and incredible guitar players, bass players, and drummers!"
