PALMDALE \u2013 Jazz artists The Lao Tizer Band<\/strong>, featuring several Grammy award winning and nominated musicians, and Incendio<\/strong> will take the Palmdale Amphitheater stage on Saturday, July 14, as part of Palmdale\u2019s summer concert series.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnjoy a beautiful evening of jazz under the stars with performances by two amazing groups,\u201d stated Palmdale\u2019s Director of Recreation and Culture Keri Smith. \u201cThese players are the real deal. They\u2019re multiple Grammy award winners and nominees who have performed with the biggest and best names in the business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hailing from Boulder, Colorado, Lao Tizer is the son of hippies with a Russian-Jewish background. The mix of his ethnic family heritage, parental new age influence and growing up with the sights and sounds of \u201980s and \u201990s pop culture (alongside the music of the \u201960s and \u201970s he heard from his parents), brought him to a place in his artistic life where he was ready to embrace a wider range of influences and stretch himself and his players.<\/p>\n

Tizer\u2019s arrangements are taken to the transcendent through the warm and soulful vocals of\u00a0Tita Hutchison, who sang with the likes of Michael McDonald, Rick Rubin, Michael Jackson and Foreigner, among others.\u00a0 Hutchison joins Tizer\u2019s regular collaborators who are celebrated in their own right:\u00a0Chieli Minucci, the three-time Emmy-winning and Grammy\u00ae Award nominated guitarist and composer; Grammy\u00ae Award-winning saxophonist\u00a0Eric Marienthal, who is a permanent member of the Chick Corea Elektric Band; longtime member and EWI\/saxophonist\/multi-instrumentalist\u00a0Steve Nieves; and violinist\u00a0Karen Briggs, who has graced the stage with Yanni, Diana Ross, Wu-Tang Clan, Chaka Khan and more. Tizer also credits the powerhouse rhythm section (bass players include Grammy\u00ae Award nominee\u00a0Ric Fierabracci\u00a0and\u00a0Cheikh NDoye, Grammy\u00ae Award-nominated drummer\u00a0Gene Coye, and percussionist\u00a0Munyungo Jackson) with underpinning the dynamic force and arrangements for the project.<\/p>\n

Opening for The Lao Tizer Band is\u00a0acclaimed Los-Angeles-based group Incendio.\u00a0 Comprised of Jim Stubblefield (guitar), JP\u00a0Durand (guitar, guitar\u00a0synth), Liza Carbe (bass, guitar) and Tim Curle (drums), they perform original \u201cworld guitar\u201d compositions, featuring incredible guitar-playing across a variety of genres:\u00a0Latin, Middle-Eastern, and Celtic grooves.\u00a0\u00a0Formed in\u00a01999, the group has nine CDs and two DVDs available\u00a0internationally, variously hitting the Billboard, CMJ, NAV\u00a0and\u00a0Amazon.com\u00a0charts.\u00a0\u00a0Averaging more than 150 shows a year\u00a0since 2000, Incendio\u2019s live performance is an\u00a0explosive improvisatory journey,\u00a0garnering tremendous audience response in such diverse venues as the\u00a0Strawberry\u00a0Music Festival, the Sundance Film Festival, National Gallery of Art\u00a0in Washington,\u00a0DC, California World Festival, the national Levitt Pavilions and\u00a0many more across the nation.<\/p>\n
