Legendary jazz musicians possessed the qualities and visions to react and make impact to the world, despite being in different cultures and historical periods. Jazz is a true art form and an invaluable asset of human culture. As a jazz musician from Hong Kong who had the privilege to perform and study at the homeland of this music with some of the legends, I would like to be a storyteller to introduce you to this fascinating world.

Theme: Fusion Jazz

From the late 1960s, the rise of electric instruments and amplifiers brought almost unlimited possibilities and excitement to music. Miles Davis’ album “In a Silent Way” in 1969 symbolised the start of the jazz fusion era. Musicians explored the bridging jazz of with other musical styles, with the use of electric instruments such as Fender Rhodes, Clavinet, synthesizers, electric guitar and bass etc.
