Jazz Appreciation and Sharing Session: Jazz, Rock, and Pop Beyond Definitions

Overview

Jazz has long transcended the boundaries of a single musical genre. Over its evolution, it has exerted a profound influence on diverse styles such as pop and rock, as well as various artistic disciplines.

In this 'Jazz Appreciation and Sharing Session,' Teriver Cheung, founder of Drip Music, invites singer-songwriter Jan Curious to discuss how jazz music embraces cross-disciplinary collaboration. One is a contemporary jazz guitarist and composer; the other is a multi-talented creative who serves as a rock band lead singer and illustrator. Why did these two musicians from such different backgrounds join forces in a cross-genre band? How did their initial collaboration pave the way for innovative musical projects? Both will share their personal journeys and explore the boundless possibilities of music creation.

Teriver and Jan Curious will be joined by local jazz musicians Bowen Li (keyboards), Nelson Fung (bass), and Dean Li (drums) for a stellar live performance. The program will feature classic jazz standards, reimagined Cantonese pop songs, and original compositions. Drip Music cordially invites you to this appreciation and sharing session to personally experience the free, open, and cross-genre charm of jazz.
