Streetdancer

Rob Dorn

World Jazz
Over the yearsStreetdancer has gigged with some of the most esteemed Jazz& Fusion artists of all time, including Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Jean Luc Ponty& Muhal Richad Davis
DEAN MILANO - THE READER

"The Windy City has even produced an answer to Jaco Pastorius,in the form of Lithuanian Bass Wunderkind Kestutis Stanciauskas. In 1973 Kestutis started Streetdancer, a Jazz Fusion group with intimidating chops, complicated arrangements, and a hard edged sound that was more like the European take on fusion, not the usual wimpy American version(Return to Forever, anyone?)."

Streetdancer is a international collective of musicians who gather in Chicago to begin tours. They perform original compositions featuring a combination of Brazilian, Jazz and Funk Rhythms with Lithuanian Folk Variations woven throughout the compositions.
This musical journey pursues a singular artistic vision committed to expanding the range, content and exploration of the synthesis of Jazz, Folk and World Jazz.
