樂遊．傳承 Jazz It On!
New Generations – Women In Jazz
There are many talented female jazz musicians in Hong Kong. In this concert, three up-and-coming female musicians will be invited, each leading their own bands and performing for the audience. Let's feel the power of WOMEN IN JAZZ!
New Generations – 7th Wave Septet
Founded in 2021 by 7 young local jazz musicians, 7th Wave Septet brings innovative jazz originals composed by the members to the audience. Comprised of a full rhythm section of piano, guitar, drums, and bass, and a horn section with alto and tenor saxophone and trombone, the Septet is able to create lush, dense, and varying textures with abundant instrumentation; a rather infrequent occurrence among local bands. The originals explore many styles within the modern jazz spectrum, showcasing the diversity of the composers and bringing the exciting genre to a bigger audience.
Tribute to John Coltrane & Elvin Jones
The concert brings together drummer Samuel Chan, pianist Ted Lo, saxophonists Blaine Whittaker and Paulo Levi, and bassist Justin Siu for the very first time. They will perform to pay tribute to the two jazz legends John Coltrane and Elvin Jones.
Eugene Pao will be joined by guitarist Alan Kwan, pianist Bowen Li, bassist Nelson Fung and drummer Almond Yeung to pay tribute to one of the most refined and influential jazz pianists and composer Bill Evans.
Members of the Hong Kong Youth Jazz Collective will join together on stage for a warm and festive concert to celebrate Christmas!
