Transcendental Light Orchestra “Spirit Wind“
At its most basic, TLO plays unique versions of Christmas airs. The arrangements are a volatile mix of baroque, classical, rock, pop, jazz and even Latin music played with energy and artistic excellence. But TLO goes much farther than that. It was formed by musician / arranger / producer James Bazen with the idea of finding a deeper, more universal message. TLO is uniquely influenced by classical, jazz, Latin and even rock music.
