Martin Allan Lass (born August 6, 1958) is an American violinist and sometime astrologer, who grew up, and started his performance career, in Australia.
[3] Lass was a contestant on Bert Newton's TV talent quest, New Faces,[5] in 1982, winning the Grand Final[6] and People Choice awards.
Then a touring career ensued, in which he combined classical, gypsy and popular genres including jazz, bluegrass and Celtic.
[7] He supported major stars such as Luciano Pavarotti, Julio Iglesias,[3] Kamahl[3] and Joan Baez.
According to The Canberra Times' Vanessa Johnson, "[he] has revolutionised the classics, playing music which links Bach, Vivaldi and Beethoven to jazz, country and rock 'n' roll.
[10] AllMusic's Alex Henderson rated it at three-out-of-five stars and explained, "[it] is an example of the more classical-influenced new age, and even though the material falls short of mind-blowing, all of it is pleasant and sincere.
