****2015 Homeland to New York—Vincent Hsu’s Jazz Original Night****
Vincent Hsu arrived in New York at the age of 25 and bought his first double bass. At the age of 28, he gave his first public performance. At 31, he wrote his first solo jazz composition, Homeland, then hoping it might convey the kind of indefatigable strength that our native lands bestow upon us. And yet New York also appears throughout the album as a boundless source of musical and philosophical inspiration. Dedicated to his native Taiwan, the album “Homeland” follows the new paths in jazz that were opened during his New York days, crisscrossing and intertwining the two, to deliver an account of the yearning inside him that he has chosen music to communicate.
This spring, Vincent is returning to New York with his debut album, which won the “Best Jazz Album of the Year” by the 2014 Golden Indie Music Award in Taiwan. He’s also collaborating with two jazz veterans, Harold Danko and Billy Drummond for his latest recording project.
At this not to be missed performance, Vincent and his trio will play his newest compositions and share his personal stories behind & beyond the album “Homeland.” We’re cordially inviting you to join us and feel our heartbeats through the vibration of music.
