Want to practise your improvisation skills and jam with a jazz band? Here’s your chance! Presented by the Fringe Club as one of the programmes of the “Jazz-Go-Central, Jazz-Go-Fringe” project, Open Platform provides opportunities for young, amateur musicians to jam and improvise with professional artists and bands.
Improvisation is a key aspect of jazz. It is fun to play, improvise, take risks, and jam as a team. As a famous saying goes, “Once is a mistake, twice is jazz.”
In this fifth Open Platform show, the host band is led by Alan Kwan (guitar), joined by Patrick Lui (piano), Wong Tak-chung (bass) and Ted Lo (drums). They’ll open with a set of American jazz standards, then they’ll invite audience-members to step up and jam with them!
