It has a warm tone in the studio and it can cut through on stage with a live band despite its light weight. Over the years, Yamaha has been a compelling leader in rts dedication and its contributions towards evolving the role of the violin in today's contemporary music. So whether you're playing hip hop, rock, jazz fusion, country, classical, reggae or whatever your favorite genre, this is the best sounding electric fiddle out there.” - Karen Briggs Internationally Renowned Violinist i a YamatiaStrings @ViimaltaStnngs 4wrd.it/briggsNMM C 20t 4 Yamaha CorporalKHi ot America All rights reserved ^M E A OFFICERS PRESIDENT THE 'I/oil Swapp, President 10027 Contaoa Ct.

Desde entonces ha trabajado con multitud de músicos, destacando su colaboración con Miles Davis desde 1981 hasta 1983.

  • Dept of Good and Evil Rachel Z by Mark S
    Dept of Good and Evil Rachel Z by Mark S. Tucker Initially a tepid keyboardist along the lines of Patrice Rushen (a woman who showed great promise initially but fizzled when push came to shove through a lackluster solo career), Rachel Z was unengaging in a brief stint with Steps Ahead before moving over to a failed try at resurrecting Return To Forever under the group sobriquet of Vertu, a nice little fusion effort that also ran at Mahavishnu Orchestra. Vertu created a brief but ignored wrinkle in the late 90s fusion landscape, this time captained by RTFers Lenny White and Stanley Clark, reuniting after Clarke's disaffection with the Church of Scientology, an exhausted allegiance which earlier caused he and confrere Chick Corea to oust all non-cultists, much to our collective repugnance and amusement. In Vertu, though, save for the ability to keep up with a fairly hard-charging ensemble, Z's contributions weren't particularly noteworthy, most puzzlingly and perhaps embarrassingly illustrated in a strange solo in the tune Anoché. Worse, she was heavily overshadowed by Karen Briggs' violin refrains, who aced everyone but Clarke. Therefore, listeners were justified in shying away from a keyboardist about whom, in the day and for while after, too much hoo-ha was unwarrantedly issuing from the promo mill. However, this CD is a complete surprise, though apparently Z's been developing the style for a while. Transitioning from the shores of progressive upheaval and twists, she's become an astonishingly adept jazz pianist in a mostly straight-up mode, much more fitting someone who studied under Brackeen and Beirach, here with hints of Crispell sprinkled into a predominantly Corea (late period) / Guaraldi / Brubeck forté.

  • The Lao Tizer Band (Formerly TIZER) Downbeat Driven by an Explosive
    The Lao Tizer Band (formerly TIZER) Downbeat Driven by an explosive mix of jazz, rock, classical , jam band influences and Afro Cuban and world rhythms, Downbeat—the first studio album by TIZER (now called The Lao Tizer Band— LTB), a multi-cultural band led by Boulder, CO native, keyboardist/composer Lao Tizer— throws down a high powered collection of 12 brand-new originals on this scintillating release of fresh instrumental music from one of today’s rising stars of the world-fusion genre. Establishing themselves in the contemporary jazz world over the past few years, LTB 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. Truly embodying the title and spirit of his 2007 solo album Diversify, Lao assembled a group of veteran world-class musicians to create a dynamic rich with new melodic, harmonic and improvisational possibilities. Co-produced by Lao and former guitarist Jeff Kollman (Glenn Hughes, UFO, Chad Smith’s Bombastic Meatbats), the eclectic set includes five original compositions by Lao and numerous collaborations with his cohorts, including the first single “World In Rhythm,” co-written with Emmy winner and Grammy nominated guitarist Chieli Minucci, best known as founder and leader of Special EFX. Over the past few years, LTB—a 2011 nominee for “Jazz Group of the Year”--has taken their multi-faceted world fusion vibe acorss the USA around the globe, galvanizing thousands at events including the Java Jazz Festival in Jakarta, the Joy of Jazz Festival in Johannesburg, the Dubai Jazz Festival, Barbados Jazz Festival, the Caribbean Sea Jazz Festival and the Festival International Providencia Jazz in Santiago, Chile.
