The Lao Tizer Band returns with AMPLIFY, their explosive new album! The project was recorded and filmed LIVE at Hollywood's legendary EastWest Studios, with an all-star cast led by keyboardist, composer and producer Lao Tizer. The record includes 5 sizzling vocal tracks featuring platinum-selling American Idol star Elliott Yamin, plus 4 adventurous instrumentals penned by Tizer. Also appearing are GRAMMY-winning saxophonist Eric Marienthal (Chick Corea), guitarist Chieli Minucci (Special EFX), drummer Gene Coye (Hiromi, Santana), famed percussionist Munyungo Jackson (Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder) and many others. This release marks a major evolution for the group with elements of jazz, funk, R&B, soul and jam-band influences, accentuated by a super-tight horn section. Videos were produced for all tracks by Andy LaViolette, best-known for his work with Snarky Puppy.
