What
does it take for an accomplished
chamber quartet to set aside Ravel and
Bach? Jazz – cool, bluesy jazz.
The Indigo Ensemble is multinational and multitalented, joined in an eager
exploration of music. Rodrigo Guzmán
is a classical concert guitarist who easily transitions to more
modern fare. Johannes Neupertis
is a virtuoso violinist, adept at everything from Schubert to swing to Sting. Double bassist Peter Nelson is at home both with
philharmonics and local jazz clubs. And Rafael de
Torres works as a concert pianist but relaxes behind whatever keyboard he
faces.
This exhilarating group’s instrumentation is nontraditional, and their
repertoire is completely uninhibited, ranging from Duke Ellington to Jimi Hendrix, Astor Piazzolla
and Hugo Blanco. Their singular goal is to create
intimate and exciting music without borders, connecting with each other and
the audience.
