The Erik Truffaz Masterclass
Kindly sponsored by the French Embassy in Beijing
Erik will present a very special masterclass about his innovative musical explorations which span different genres of jazz: post-beebop, the early fusion styles of trumpet legend Miles Davis, and the contemporary musical styles of electronica, acid rock, and hip-hop.
FREE ADMISSION, but for maximum enjoyment and understanding the performance at JZ Club at 10pm on the 29th should not be missed!
TRUMPETER ERIK TRUFFAZ:
Swiss-born trumpet player Erik Truffaz has gained prominence in the international jazz community for wedding the post-beebop and early fusion styles of trumpet legend Miles Davis with more contemporary forms of music such as electronica, acid rock, and hip-hop. The result is a musical synthesis that is often nostalgic yet simultaneously fresh, sometimes veering into trance music and other times hitting a polyrhythmic dance vibe inspiring listeners to hit the dance floor. Erik Truffaz proves again to be a jazz non-conformist on his Blue Note and EMI recordings.
