Shanghai Jazz Festival

Over the last decade no other company or organization has been more instrumental in the growth of live music and jazz in Shanghai than JZ. A major player in all aspects of China’s growing music industry, every year we showcase big international names at Shanghai’s largest outdoor music festival, the JZ Festival Shanghai. Our two JZ Club’s, located in Shanghai and Hangzhou respectively, Wooden Box Café, On Stage, JZ Latino in Shanghai, are widely known as China’s top Live Music Venues and our regular live concerts and tours feature some of the biggest names in Jazz and contemporary music, both local and international. In addition, the Shanghai Jazz Conservatory or “JZ School” has over 30 full time teachers and is the leading source of contemporary music education in Shanghai.

Valley Children，I love them so much! The noisy city needs the soud, as the crystal ,so clear! Unable to descrive the shock when I hear their voice on the spot! -From the audience.

SCOFIELD this year reunites his legendary Überjam Band. This group pioneered Scofield’s fusing of jazz, funk and electronic music to become one of the defining bands of his career. One of the “big three” of current jazz guitarists (along with Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell), Scofield was the 1998 winner of the Montreal Jazz Festival Miles Davie Award. He possesses a distinctive rock-oriented sound, and is a masterful jazz improviser whose music generally falls somewhere between post-bop, fusion and jazz soul. John Scofield: guitar, Avi Bortnick: guitar / samples, Louis Cato: drums, Andreas Hess: bass

My God! I see JOHN SCOFIELD! Make me crazy! -From the audience
