Quintessence - Coco, Zhang Le, and Heidi
Thursday, August 21st, 2008
Who would have thought?
These three fantastic jazz vocalists will do a unique performance this Saturday night at a venue I haven’t been to yet, called Lounge 18. Coco says it’s a fantastic space, which means it should be perfect for the magical evening the group has planned for Saturday. Joining the three singers will be Tinho Pereira, the extraordinary Brazilian bass player who joined Coco and Heidi for their recent show at the Oriental Arts Center, as well as Willow Neilson, an Australian saxophonist who is not playing sax at this show but instead playing Mbira, which is the Zimbabwean thumb piano. It’s quite a unique set of sounds to mix together, and a fantastic set of musicians, so expect an amazing night.
Saturday August 23, 9pm-10:30pm
Lounge 18 (18 on the bund, 4F–18 Zhongshan Dong Lu, near Nanjing Lu)
Free Entry
These two jazz vocalists are among the best Shanghai has to offer, and their show tomorrow afternoon will see them accompanied by a very strong rhythm section as well. Part of a series of monthly jazz concerts put on by JZ clubp at the Oriental Arts Center, the show will also feature pianist Steve Sweeting, bassist Tinho Pereira, and drummer Ronnie Williams.
