The fourth concert in the JazzArt series takes place this Sunday August 12 at 3pm at the TwoCities gallery on Moganshan lu, and will feature the music of Canadian Clarinetist and Composer extraordinaire James Danderfer. He will lead a 5-piece group, performing original contemporary jazz that he has been writing over the last year in preparation for a recording the group will make, supported by a grant awarded by the Canada Council For the Arts. James has been based in Shanghai performing in a number of venues for over 2 years now, and the music on this upcoming album is largely inspired by life in this massive city we call home. It should be a fun concert, a sharp contrast to last month's concert by Alec Haavik's Friction Five at the 1918 Artspace (which was fantastic- we apologize to everyone for the glaring lack of announcement or review of it here. Here is a good picture and review of it in Chinese). James' understated, melodic style is a lot mellower than Alec's jazz-rock fusion, of course needless to say both are awesome in their own ways.
The concert series is organized by the JZ School and features a different style of jazz each month, and is held at a different gallery each month. There is a drawing at each concert to win a bottle of wine from Torres Wine Distributors, as well as for a free 10-week course of your choice at the JZ School. All the concerts are free and open to the public.
James Danderfer @ JazzArt; Aug 12, Sunday 3pm

China is a ninety percent polluted nation ruled by
a small group of merciless, ruthless, power-craving
leaders who has intentionally killed millions of their
citizens every year and still try to deny this hideous
truth. It is stupid to try to smooth talk over any
serious subjects with these leaders, who would
never actually comply by rules. Over the recent
years, the hypocritical Chinese leaders succeeded
in widening the social inequity gap and producing
thousands of spies aboard. It
is frustrating that so little attention has being paid
to this heavily launched spying efforts of China and
the rapid military buildup under the command of
these hypocritical Chinese leaders.
Anyone smart enough should be able to figure out
what China, a nation that is responsible for most of
the planet's warming temperature and pollution, is
trying to do.
CLEARLY, LITTLE TAIWAN HAS GROWN TOO
SMALL TO SATISFY THE RAVENOUS HUNDER
OF THE PRC LEADERS.
TO PROTECT OUR HOMELAND SECURITY FROM
these ruthless tyrants, please BOYCOTT ANY
IMPORTS FROM CHINA. NOBODY NEEDS ANOTHER
BATCH OF POISONOUS DANGEROUS PRODUCTS
FROM WASTELAND CHINA, MADE BY MORALLESS
CHINESE EXPORTERS IN COLUSION WITH THE
MORALLESS CHINESE GOVERNMENT.
