Last updated

Colour Club is an American smooth jazz group that was founded in the 1990s by Skipper Wise and Les Pierce. Wise and Pierce formed Colour Club [1] in the early 1990s as a combination of smooth jazz and hip hop. For their second and third albums they hired vocalist Lisa Taylor with guest musicians such as Gary Meek and Rick Braun. Their self-titled debut in 1994 included the single "Freedom Words". The video was nominated for an American Music Award.

History

In 1994, Skipper was introduced to Les Pierce who had a Top 40 hit at the time with the pop group “Louie Louie” and was producing the vocal group, Take 6. [2] Skipper was signed to JVC Records for a three album deal along with Les Pierce as the group “Colour Club”

Colour Club, the self-titled album was released on the JVC label in early 1994 and reached number 5 on the NAC radio charts. The album was branded as the new movement in Europe called “Acid Jazz”

The video for the single “Freedom Words” [3] was shot in Zuma Beach, Malibu in Southern Calif and produced by Mitchel Linden. The results yielded a video of the year nominations from The American Billboards Video awards.

The album “In the Flow” [4] was released in 1996 on the JVC/VERTEX label. Now with a permanent singer Lisa Taylor, [5] the album yielded three singles: “Be Yourself” which charted in the top 40 in Japan; “If it’s all Good”and “Pearls.” [4] [6]

The third and final Colour Club record, “Sexuality,” was released in 1997 on JVC/Vertex and the single “Tenderness” was issued. The accompanying video was released and six weeks later JVC America closed its doors.
