Blue Tea Trio
22:00-02:00 Coco Zhao and The Possicobilities
The Possicobilities formed in 2005. Their
repertoire includes old
Shanghai
songs rearranged into modern styles, plus original compositions by lead singer
Coco Zhao and band members. They uniquely combine 1920s and 1930s
Shanghai
jazz with modern
jazz. Their quest is to seek out all the possibilities for blending traditional
oriental music culture with modern western jazz elements. Thus, the band
dissolves streams of various music styles and moulds them into new constructions
of sound. Their music is smoothly blended, naturally formed but wildly
performed. With rich dimensions, they’re like a fresh wind carrying a
contemporary Chinese fragrance.
