【Jazz Signature: Patrick Lui Trio feat. Junko Makiyama】日本、香港和美國三種爵士傳統的交融

8月14日，CODA Jazz Kissa將迎來一場難得的跨國界音樂會，由日本爵士小提琴家Junko Makiyama、香港鋼琴家Patrick Lui和來自美國定居香港的低音提琴手Jeff Lehmberg組成的三重奏首次同台演出，展開一場精緻的音樂對話。

Junko畢業於伯克利音樂學院，以融合古典精準與爵士即興的演奏風格聞名，曾與上原廣美等知名音樂家合作，其2024年專輯《Classical Trio 2》更登上Amazon日本排行榜冠軍。

剛在2024年ISJAC研討會發表作品的雷柏熹，是Marvin Hamlisch獎得主，擅長爵士編曲與電影配樂。而Jeff Lehmberg細膩的低音提琴演奏，則為古典與爵士樂團奠定了穩固基礎。

這三位音樂家代表了爵士樂的國際語言——Junko的抒情演繹、Patrick的和聲深度，加上Jeff的節奏直覺，將碰撞出獨特的音樂火花。當晚更特邀日本長號資深演奏家Tomomi Taniguchi客串演出。

這將是一次難得的機會，在CODA的親密空間裡，見證日本、香港和美國三種爵士傳統的交融。

On August 14, CODA Jazz Kissa will host an exceptional transcontinental collaboration featuring Japanese jazz violinist Junko Makiyama, Hong Kong pianist Patrick Lui, and American bassist Jeff Lehmberg. This marks the trio's debut performance together, promising a night of sophisticated musical dialogue.

Makiyama, a Berklee-trained violinist celebrated for blending classical precision with jazz improvisation, brings her experience collaborating with artists like Hiromi Uehara and her #1 Amazon Japan album Classical Trio 2. 

Lui, a Marvin Hamlisch Award-winning composer, contributes his expertise in jazz orchestration and film scoring, fresh from his 2024 ISJAC Symposium presentation in Nashville. Completing the trio, Lehmberg's nuanced bass work has anchored ensembles across the classical and jazz scene. 

These artists represent jazz's global language, Makiyama's lyricism, Lui's harmonic depth, and Lehmberg's rhythmic intuition will create something truly special. On the night, Japanese trombone veteran Tomomi Taniguchi will also join as guest. 

A rare opportunity to witness three jazz traditions—Japanese, Hong Kong, and American—converge in an intimate setting.
