Brio
Some of the sweetest sounds emanating out of the Washington, D.C. area
are created by classical guitarist and composer Kevin Vigil and his
flute and piccolo playing wife, Barbara. Performing as a duo since 1989,
the Vigils have built solid reputations on their own. A member of the
United States Army band, Pershing's Own, since 1990, Barbara has
performed with the group at Carnegie Hall, the White House, Kennedy
Center, U.S. Capitol and Washington Monument and appeared in the film,
The Next Karate Kid. She has also played flute with symphony orchestras
in Roanoke, Arlington and Fairfax, Virginia and Santa Fe, New Mexico.Powered by the strikingly soulful vocals
of Xandra Corpora, San Francisco’s Con Brio (“with vigor, or spirit”)
blends old-school grit with new-school sophistication for a sound that’s
wholly their own. The instrumentation is timeless: saxophone and
trumpet roll over thick organ grooves while electric guitar, upright
bass and drums keep heads nodding and the dance floor moving. A lesser
singer could be forgiven for getting lost in the mix, but Corpora stands
out.
