Music

Want to practise your improvisation skills and jam with a jazz band? Here’s your chance! Presented by the Fringe Club as one of the programmes of the “Jazz-Go-Central, Jazz-Go-Fringe” project, Open Platform provides opportunities for young, amateur musicians to jam and improvise with professional artists and bands.

Improvisation is a key aspect of jazz. It is fun to play, improvise, take risks, and jam as a team. As a famous saying goes, “Once is a mistake, twice is jazz.”

In this last Open Platform show, the host band is led by Teriver Cheung (guitar), joined by Bowen Li (piano), Scott Dodd (bass) and Andy Gander (drums). After a warm-up set of Teriver’s original compositions, they’ll invite audience-members to step up and jam with them!
