Jaime Salazar

Born on October 18, 1965 in Santiago - Chile, drummer [a=Jaime Salazar] is mostly known for his work with the Swedish progressive rock group the [a267071]. His powerful-yet-subtle style brought the bands lush arrangements a remarkable energy. His first important engagement was with ex-[a=Mahavishnu Orchestra] [a=Jonas Hellborg], with whom he recorded and toured in the 1980s. He also toured and recorded with the Swedish hard rock band [a=Bad Habit], the Swedish rock singer Zia, and new country artist Aaron Springfield. In 1994, he was recruited by progressive rock guitarist [a=Roine Stolt] to work on his album The Flower King. The warm reception the album received motivated the creation of the [a267071] as a full-time band and Salazar has been the driving rhythmic force of the band ever since. He also played on Stolt's 1998 solo album [m515885], [a=François Couture] All Music Guide as well as with [a=Rheingold], [a=Last Tribe] and [a=Opus Atlantica].
