One of the finest Contemporary instrumental, flamenco-flavored, guitar-based instrumental groups on the planet, Incendio returns in 2019 with their latest CD masterpiece appropriately entitled Summoning The Muse. A number of guest artists add in a range of instruments—from horns and percussion to accordion, Hammond B3, strings and even ‘virtual’ orchestration. Looking for a way to make their new album different or perhaps to move the sound a step forward compared to their earlier albums, Incendio co-founder / guitarist / composer Jim Stubblefield explains, “With Summoning the Muse, I’d like to think we’ve moved away from our rumba roots and into a broader contemporary instrumental sound that includes acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, violin, etc. In fact, I think there is only one rumba out of 12 songs on the new album." Featuring a wealth of inventive, guitar-centric songwriting ideas from Incendio's gifted trio of guitarists / multi-instrumentalists, Jim Stubblefield, Liza Carbe and Jean-Pierre Durand, Summoning The Muse is a winner on a number of musical levels and is the most dynamic and diverse-sounding Incendio album yet.
