Special EFX All-Stars, led by guitarist, producer, Grammy nominee and 3x Emmy winner, Chieli Minucci, is an incredible collaboration of jazz musicians.
Soulful R & B vocalist Elliott Yamin who rose to fame on American Idol, joins this amazing group led by Chieli (Celine Dion, Marc Anthony), Grammy winning saxophonist Eric Marienthal (Chick Corea, Barbra Streisand), the amazing Karen Briggs (Yanni, Diana Ross) on violin, and cutting edge keyboardist Lao Tizer (Down to the Bone, The Lao Tizer Band). It’s going to be a jazz blast when these accomplished artists join forces for a concert jam!
