It’s the most exciting news in years for fans of Lalo Schifrin, fans of classic TV Themes, fans of dark 70’s funk, fans of cool crime and spy jazz and just about anybody who considers themselves an all-round-take-no-prisoners-soundtrack-loving-mofo. Lalo Schifrin may well be the second hardest working man in show business (we all know Mr James Brown still comes top, even after his many penal code & drug violations). This immensely talented Argentinian composer, pianist and conductor has made many significant contributions to and directly influenced modern American music & culture.

Most famous for his TV and Film compositions his best scores were always in the adventure field using a trademark fusion of funky backbeats, catchy melodies, screaming orchestra and wild percussion. They were the ultimate combination of symphonic fury with crazy '70s solos and defined many genres like the Police/Cop Thriller and the Kung Fu movie.
Of course the job of paying tribute to his many themes falls to the ISFB and so for the first time in five years the band have decided to take Schifrin back to the stage in London. This most darkly beautiful of music is rarely heard live (some of it has never been) which makes it all the more a uniquely thrilling and exciting event that’s not to be missed by anyone who digs their proper 70’s funk, Soundtracks, Jazz or those with that eclectic palate and taste which thirsts and craves the wah wah, dissonant brass and dirtbag organ Schifrin’s music provides…
