Vietnam and Jazz?
Who plays Jazz in Vietnam? Does Jazz even exist in Vietnam?
They don't even have Jazz CDs sold in the city...
I wouldn't blame you for asking these questions, as most people are surprised when they come to The Jazz Club by Quyen Van Minh(31 Luong Van Can, Hanoi, Vietnam).
Located in the old Quarters of central Hanoi, you can hear live performance of Jazz every night flooding from the Club into the city. As you are led by the swingin' rhythm, you'll be stunned to see a 17 year old boy banging on his drum set with confusing Latin rhythms, a 19 year old blasting his sax solo so wild that you never knew a saxophone could make sounds like that, the pianist playfully combines traditional Jazz chords with Asian harmonies and themes, and the bassist softly plays his usual running bass at 185bpm.
