“How has jazz changed the world? How is it changing the world? How has jazz itself changed?”
FirstWorks is proud to present the stunning, live performance film 《Jazz Changed, Jazz Changes, Jazz Changin’》 created by Taiwanese jazz artist Vincent Hsu (徐崇育) and his ensemble, Soy La Ley Afro-Cuban Jazz Band (古巴爵士樂團).
Born in Changhua, Taiwan, Hsu is an award-winning bassist and composer who fuses jazz and Afro-Cuban music with his Taiwanese roots.
Featuring impeccable sound and spectacular settings, the performance film reflects both the everyday and traditional life in Taiwan, while showing that jazz is alive and well beyond its birthplace.
Hsu’s film is a thrilling tribute to a uniquely African American art form, and an acknowledgment of the indelible impact jazz has left on people and societies around the world.
