Saturday Night Jazz – 2024.09.28
The Rui Cunha Foundation presents the popular “Saturday Night Jazz” concert on Saturday, September 28th, 2024, at 9:00pm, under the series “Meet the Masters” with North-American singer and bassist Julian Cary, also a composer and professor at the Jazz Music Faculty of Silpakorn University in Bangkok, who will be in Macau to perform with the resident band of Macau Jazz Promotion Association (MJPA).
The “Meet the Masters” series have been promoted annually by MJPA to collaborate with professional musicians temporarily based or passing through the territory. It has been held since 2014 and is one of MJPA’s long-term activities: inviting numerous jazz musicians to Macau aiming to rehearse with the members and together perform for local audiences.
Julian Cary is currently lecturing at Silpakorn University in Thailand, where he teaches Jazz Vocal Performance to both undergraduate and graduate students, overseeing the jazz vocal program and ensuring quality control. In addition to teaching, he is also a composer and arranger, having started writing music a year before releasing his first solo album, “Heaven? Indeed”, in 2019. As a freelancer, he has also done a variety of voice-over, copywriting, editing, and translation work.
This concert will feature the guest musician performing his original songs and other jazz classicsalongside members of the MJPA. «I hope this music tells a story that people may not have heard before. I hope they can hear my personal expression of feelings that exist between the solid lines we often associate with them», says Cary. Influenced by French Impressionism, classical and contemporary jazz, and even alternative rock, the artist aims to show people what he calls “emotional corners”.
The Macau Jazz Promotion Association (MJPA), co-organizer of Saturday Night Jazz with the Rui Cunha Foundation since 2014, is a non-profit local arts association, created in 2010. The aim of MJPA is to promote jazz music to Macau’s audience and to provide opportunities for local musicians, thus bringing out the multicultural characteristic of the territory.
Admission is free.
