A night of Shanghai Jazz at MoCA

Once
the Paris of the Orient, Shanghai has a music scene diverse with tradition and
styles, yet it is Jazz that has best captured the city¡¯s
transition over the last century. ¡°Shanghai Jazz¡±
is Alice Jagtman¡¯s photo testament to the diverse and creative jazz scene in
present-day Shanghai. Celebrating Jagtman¡¯s newly launched book,
MoCA Caf¨¦ hosts The
Art of Jazz
paying
tribute to the Shanghai jazz scene and
honoring those that make it a vibrant one. Follow the
beat of cool, sweet jazz as it floats up to the third floor of MoCA for a night of Shanghai Jazz featuring Alec
and the All-Stars and
special guest appearances by a few of Shanghai¡¯s renowned jazz vocalists.
¡°Jazz
is the music of the body¡±
