Hi,

Im a musician in nz and im thinking of moving to china or taiwan in the future. i will still want to play music, and was wondering if anyone knows the quality of 'jazz' music there. I realize it wont be popular there, but i doubt if it hasnt turned up somewhere.

Can anyone help me? I would love it if someone could take a mp3 player /recorder and record some jazz there for me.

cheers

Hi Josh

There are several jazz bars in Taipei and many places have jazz nights just about every week. Have a look of the links below, try to download the music:

There used to the Taipei Jazz Festival but I'm not sure if itis still going. Once you are in Taipei you can check out the Jazz bars (the ones I know are "Blue Note" and "TU"). There're a number of bars all concentrated around Shi-Da (Taiwan Normal University), either on Shi-Da Road or Roosevelt Road. Hope this helps.

I think Jazz is more popular in Shanghai. There is a quite big Jazz festival each year in Beijing called Midi Jazz Festival. This year it will be on the 1st til 4th of May previously in Haidian Park together with Midi-Rock Festival.
