Founded in 1996, the group members had previously the opportunity to appreciate
each other in the frame work of other formations.
They rallied around a project which aims to be out of the just ordinary
jam-sessions and other "telephone-gigs".
They play in great part original compositions rendered more pleasant, here and there
by some arrangements which themselves are original.
The influences are multiple and all told, one may conclude that COLORCITY
put the emphasis on listening, groove, contrasts, soul, improvisation,
the simple pleasure of sharing the music.
