Album Notes
BLUE LATITUDE is the brainchild of producers / guitarists, Randy Rigby and Ed Edwards. The group was originally conceived in 2002 as a live music outlet and a break from the confines of their music production house in Denver's Lower Downtown.
Their debut album, "EL ENCANTO", finds Edwards & Rigby moving out front with an all-new collection of contemporary & smooth jazz compositions, with funky Latin-tinged rhythms, soulful vocals and dramatic arrangements. Tracks such as the burning title track "EL ENCANTO" and the sultry, "SOUL SHADOWS," display Ed and Randy’s musical maturity and prove that they have become considerable recording artists of their own.
Edwards & Rigby’s powerful live performances are complemented by a stellar lineup of musicians, who were previously Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Richie Furay’s touring band. “We originally began performing around LoDo (Denver’s artsy Lower Downtown) simply because we needed a break from the confines of our music production facility”, explains Ed. “Our studio was surrounded by all these great music spots and we started getting requests from some local club owners to bring our band in.”
“We’ve grown up listening and playing jazz, but we are not purists by any means, because we love the diverse styles of music that have sprung up in America over the past 100 years; jazz, blues, gospel, r&b, folk & country”, Randy preaches. “We like to think that music is ultimately all about the people, who respond to memorable melodies as well as skillful improvisation.”
Where it’s all leading is hard to tell just yet, but BLUE LATITUDE will be hitting the road aggressively in 2007 to promote the new CD. “Our fans in Denver have been so supportive so we’re hoping to find the same favor with audiences in other cities around the US".
