【Jazz Future: Tamjai Quartet – Tribute to Barry Harris】
本地爵士結他手Tam Jai將以畢業音樂會形式呈獻一場爵士四重奏演出，聯同鋼琴手Anson、低音大提琴手Chun及鼓手Wai，重新演繹咆勃鋼琴家暨教育家Barry Harris編排的爵士標準曲，以他們的視角詮釋經典。
Tam Jai現正就讀大學音樂系，近年活躍於本地爵士場景，曾於香港多個場地演出，累積豐富現場經驗。他擅長重新編排標準曲，融合不同爵士元素，在傳統曲目中展現個人理解與音樂語言。
是次選材別具意義。Barry Harris（1929–2021）既是咆勃鋼琴巨匠，亦是影響深遠的爵士教育家。他對和聲移動、聲部連結與即興語彙的見解，深刻影響無數樂手。其標準曲編排在保留旋律原貌之餘，加入精緻和聲與節奏思維，成為學習爵士的重要養分。
對喜歡聆聽經典重塑、或對咆勃語言與現代爵士互動感興趣的觀眾而言，這是一場見證年輕樂手成長與思考的現場。
Local jazz guitarist Tam Jai presents his graduation recital in a jazz quartet setting, joined by pianist Anson, bassist Chun, and drummer Wai. The group will reinterpret jazz standards arranged by bebop pianist and educator Barry Harris, offering their own perspective on these timeless works.
Currently studying music at university, Tam Jai has been active in Hong Kong’s jazz scene, performing at various venues and building strong live experience. His work centers on re-arranging standards, blending diverse jazz elements while expressing a personal voice within traditional repertoire.
Barry Harris (1929–2021) was both a bebop piano master and an influential educator. His ideas on harmonic movement, voice leading, and improvisational language have shaped generations of musicians. His arrangements preserve original melodies while enriching them with sophisticated harmonic color and rhythmic thought.
For listeners who enjoy hearing classics reimagined—or are curious about the dialogue between bebop vocabulary and modern jazz—this concert offers a chance to witness the artistic growth of a new generation.
