Dubbed "the boy Billie Holiday," special guest Coco Zhao will perform an intimate set of original works and old favorites. A unique heritage (both parents were in traditional Chinese opera) infuses his youthful interpretations; his distinct style mixes Mandarin vocals with contemporary jazz sounds. Based in Shanghai, his international appearances include the Montreal Jazz Festival and the Kennedy Center. There'll also be art activities (make your own print), cash bars, a talk on jazz in Asia, and docent conversations in special exhibition Shanghai. Please click here to hear some of Coco Zhao's songs.
