【Jazz Signature: Keith Wong x Eric Chong】Tribute: From Nat King Cole to Mark Murphy

當代爵士樂壇少見的聲樂科班音樂人Keith Wong，總能在即興音符與劇場敘事間找到迷人平衡。

這位2022年自荷蘭海牙皇家音樂學院爵士聲樂系畢業的歌手，將留歐期間汲取的多元養分化作專輯《纏》。大碟充滿著時而是正統爵士的即興火花，時而又化作合唱劇場的敘事張力。

2022年斬獲阿卡中國蜂巢獎「年度最佳原創音樂」的肯定，翌年更同時獲得香港藝術發展局與荷蘭Sena Performers基金挹注，這組罕見的「雙認證」恰如其分地標記著他遊走於東西音樂語境的獨特座標。

5月17日晚，Keith將重新演繹Nat King Cole至Mark Murphy等爵士男歌手的經典作品，並分享這些跨越時代的爵士聲線如何滋養他的創作養分。

特別值得期待的是，他將與同為荷蘭音樂體系培養的爵士結他好手Eric Chong歷同台。兩位新生代音樂人的對話，勢必碰撞出既承襲爵士傳統、又具當代視野的藝術火花。
