5.0 out of 5 stars The most amazing & inspirational artist!, April 10, 2006

By	Karen S. Sabbah "Drgnfliesndolphins" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw Lao Tizer in concert last year and was so blown away by his talent, I purchased this CD. I kinda forgot about it for a little while, and found it under the seat of my car one day. Since then, his music is the only music I can study to!

His music is incredibly relaxing, inspirational, and really good to meditate to!.

I can't wait to purchase his other 5 CD's!

5.0 out of 5 stars A blend of New Age & Jazz to sooth your day, December 31, 2004

By	Chris Hewitt (Brentwood, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I took a little daytime getaway to San Francisco yesterday. I live in Brentwood, California, which is about an hour and a half away from SF. While approaching Pier 39, I heard the amazing sounds of this artist, "Lao Tizer," and immediately was moved in its unforgettable sound.

Lao's style is so unique that it's a wonderful experience to listen to his music. Starting his music career off at a very young age, this is his fourth album, but first album with "The Lao Tizer Band". I have to say that the mix of New Age & Jazz in this album compilation is truly sensational.

It's hard to describe what the music sounds like, because you have to hear it for yourself. All of the songs are piano-driven, which is my favorite part, being a pianist myself. My favorite songs are "Golden Soul," "Daybreak," and "What It Is." There is such a jazz influence on this album which makes it all the more likeable. It's filled with lush sounds and a variety of instruments ranging from the piano, obviously, to the saxophone, violin, congas, and even the flute.

Lao uses a definite range of dynamics in his playing. He's definitely one of the most inspirational aritsts I've heard in a long time, and a very promising and dedicated pianist. I had the pleasure of meeting him and having him sign my CD which was quite an honor. I hope to whomever who buys his album loves it and that we'll expect another amazing album from "The Lao Tizer Band" soon!

Oh, and one thing that's probably commonly confused. There are some songs with just Lao Tizer and a few background sounds playing, but this is an album of the pianist Lao Tizer and his band, which includes a guitar, bass player, and drummer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best CD I own in its category, May 15, 2003

By	D. Lodge "D. Lodge" (northern VA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I too bought this in Newport Beach, CA, while listening to him in an outdoor concert. I thought the music was fantastic then, but it wasn't until I got home and really listened to the CD did I realize how fantastic it really is. My fiance' loves it too, and he's your typical man's man.

I guess I'll lump this music in with New Age, but it is truly the best "listening" CD I own, and I've been buying and playing music for 25 years. I REALLY hope he comes out with another CD because I'd buy it without even hearing it first. I'm off to go try and find any bootleg music of his .....
