Like his brother Bob, violinist Steve Kindler performed within the Honolulu Symphony, but he cut his jazz chops as an associate of John McLaughlin’s fusion band, Mahavishnu Orchestra. Kindler in addition has toured and documented with Jan Hammer, Jeff Beck, and Kitaro. Kindler’s easy however impassioned violin improvisations will be the ideal automobile for his personal extremely melodic compositions, merging classical, jazz, rock and roll, and ethnic affects. Furthermore, Kindler is an associate of Barefoot, a co-op world-music dance group.
