Philadelphia has given us some brilliant music over the decades and this tight,
contemporary jazz ensemble holds up to Philly’s solid reputation with their
highly anticipated new release, IGNITION! The album revs up with what the group
calls Urban Organic Jazz… that is funky grooves and jazz-soaked, melodic
originals, and delivers exciting new music, ranging from smooth to Latin to
fusion to Tower of Power-like grooves, and even a splash of chillout! IGNITION
sparks from cool collaborations including special guest appearances by
saxophonist Andrew Neu vocalists Phyllis Chapell, Justin Guarini & guitarist
Vinnie Zummo. Drivetime has been honing their craft and evolving into an
important new voice in the Global Smooth Jazz community with three previous
recordings and two top-selling singles featuring Bob Baldwin and Justin Guarini.
Leader Bernie Capodici and band shift into high gear for live performances where
they marry old school cool with modern, musical ideas… buckle up!
