<\/a>\nTaipei Cultural Office in New York presents Taiwanese Jazz vibraphonist\/composer Yuhan Su’s jazz quintet on stage. They will perform a set of compositions by Yuhan inspired by Chinese Mythology KuaFu, a giant who decided to chase and catch the Sun. With each stride he gets closer to the Sun, however, he could never catch up to it. He followed the Sun from the East to the West, draining all rivers and lakes crossing his path as sources of water to quench his burning thirst as he closed in on the star. However, he wasn’t able to finish his quest because he died of the extreme heat and exhaustion. The wooden club he was carrying grew into a vast forest. Kua Fu turns into a mountain range.<\/p>\n
New York based-vibraphonist Su has released two albums under acclaimed saxophonist Greg Osby’s label, Inner Circle Music. The records have received widespread approval. DownBeat wrote of Su’s “intelligence, sensitivity and a haunting sense of tenderness.” The album also has received numerous music awards and nominations, including \u2018Best Jazz Album of the Year\u2019, \u2018Best New Artist\u2019, \u2019 Best Jazz Single\u2019 from the 2013 Golden Indie Music Award and \u2018Best Performance Album of the year\u2019, \u2019Best Composer Award\u2019 from 2013 Golden Melody Award in Taiwan.<\/p>\n
