Driven by an explosive mix of jazz, rock, classical, jam band influences and Afro Cuban and world rhythms, The Lao Tizer Band has spurred comparisons of a modern twist to the 70s and early 80s heyday of jazz fusion, when trailblazing ensembles like Return To Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra and Weather Report set the aesthetic standard. Lao Tizer has assembled a group of veteran world-class musicians to create a dynamic rich sound with new melodic, harmonic and improvisational possibilities, featuring jazz violinist Karen Briggs, who brings an eclectic range and fusion of world music influences to the performance.
