Jazz singer Zhou Yan Leo Quartet
Vocal: Zhou Yan Leo
Piano: Wen Bochao
Double Bass: Huang Zhiye
Drums: Li Hongfei
Free Entry
Zhou Yan Leo is a self-taught singer who grew up in Shenzhen. By chance, I accumulated a large number of standard songs. I taught myself the harmonica based on drums and piano. I started playing blues, felt the rhythm at a swing dance, experienced the bond of vocals with A Cappella, and fell in love with the sound of hard bop. The goal is to achieve instrument-like accuracy, poetic relaxation, and sketch-like harmonious construction, and we are always on the road.
