Jetleger is a highly original international band specially assembled for a spring 2005 concert tour of Taiwan. The band performs a strikingly diverse blend of original music spanning modern jazz, progressive rock, funk, world music, and experimental soundscapes. Although most of the players are now based in Seattle, three members — guitarists Dennis Rea and Axel Schunn and bassist Ryan Berg — are current or former residents of Taiwan, where they played in adventurous early-90s groups Identity Crisis, Gang of Formosa, and Lemming Dynasty. Jetleger is rounded out by Seattle drummer Olli Klomp and electric violinist Karl Scheer and is being supported on its Taiwan tour by German bassist/electronic musician Chekov. The band members' credits include work with such world-renowned musicians as Cui Jian, Hector Zazou, Han Bennink, Klaus Schulze, Wang Yong, and members of King Crimson, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. www.dennisrea.com

Founded in 2004 by German bassist/producer Atze Ton, Chekov performs improvised music on the basis of computer-triggered loops. The project's live setup consists of bass and MIDI-controlled laptop (Atze Ton), guitar (Dennis Rea), and various additional instruments. Influenced by a variety of musical genres, Chekov combines jazz elements with modern electronic samples and sounds, taking the lstener on a sonic space trip to unimaginable, groovin' sound-galaxies. www.chekov-music.de.
