Jazz Frenzy: Shanghai Jazz Fest Comes North

As Shanghai’s Jz Festival enters its eighth year, we here in Beijing are getting a satellite mini-fest. Performances from Ochún, Yellowjackets and Terri Lyne Carrington.

Reasons to go
You realize that there’s currently a sad dearth of quality jazz music in Beijing and you don’t want to miss the opportunity to catch jazz legends on your doorstep.

Reasons to avoid
You’re into thrash metal, punk, rock … anything besides jazz, for that matter. This won’t be your bag.

After the show, you’ll wish …
The Jz Festival would decide to set up shop here in the Northern Capital so that we don’t have to make do with Shanghai’s leftovers.

When and where?
