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: Jazz Worldwide Nowadays

Originating among the African-American community in the United States over 100 years ago, jazz travelled from New Orleans and Kansas City to Chicago and New York, eventually spreading all over the world as a unique art form. Musicians of different cultures have absorbed the tradition of jazz and contributed to the development of the music with new elements. Nowadays, jazz elements can be found in music of almost any genre, expanding the library of the jazz vocabulary and connecting the world with the inclusiveness of music.
