6/25
Saturday
21:30-23:30


Jazz with Japanese and American styles 6/25

The intensity of the jazz fusion is like a sports car bombarding the track at hundreds of miles per hour. We often think of jazz as an American culture, but its absorbing nature was destined for an international medium. Especially the historical development of Japanese jazz, people are becoming crazy about it.

Jazz has always meant freedom, and a lot of people think jazz is not just about freedom, it’s about power or something like that. It represents something different than the suffocating atmosphere we live in, but it’s not usual. It can be an African logic or an immigrant emotion, and gradually, people immerse their own cultural music into it, and they say it represents the spirit of their respective cultures. Some even say, ‘yes! it’s from America.’, but it belongs to everyone now, and when we add our own to it, it really belongs to us
On the evening of 6/25, WILL CHOU QUINTET brings us a new understanding of Japan-US fusion
