Joyce Cheung x Eugene Pao

【Jazz Signature: Joyce Cheung x Eugene Pao】兩位著名音樂人的首度合作

香港爵士樂壇將迎來一場特別演出，鋼琴家張貝芝（Joyce Cheung）和結他手包以正（Eugene Pao）將首次以二重奏形式，在CODA Jazz Kissa同台演出。這兩位分別代表不同世代的香港頂尖爵士音樂人，將展開一場難得的音樂對話。

張貝芝畢業於美國伯克利音樂學院，剛於2024年推出廣受好評的專輯《The Études》。她將與有「香港爵士結他第一人」之稱的包以正合作。包以正過去三十多年活躍於國際爵士舞台，曾與多位世界級爵士樂手同台演出。

兩位音樂家的風格各具特色卻又能互相配合：張貝芝擅長現代和聲，曾與英國爵士歌手Poppy Ajudha等合作；包以正則以充滿爵士藍調風格的演奏聞名，演出足跡遍及蒙特勒爵士音樂節等國際舞台。

CODA場地僅設35個座位，建議有興趣的樂迷盡早預約。

Hong Kong’s jazz scene will witness a landmark collaboration this month as pianist Joyce Cheung and guitar legend Eugene Pao share the stage for their first-ever duo performance at CODA Jazz Kissa. This unprecedented pairing brings together two generations of the city’s finest jazz exponents in what promises to be an intimate musical dialogue.

Cheung, the Berklee-trained virtuoso fresh from her acclaimed 2024 album The Études, will meet Pao—Hong Kong’s original jazz guitar hero and global collaborator with over three decades of redefining Asian jazz. Their contrasting yet complementary styles create tantalizing possibilities: Cheung’s contemporary harmonic sensibilities, honed through collaborations with artists like Poppy Ajudha, intersecting with Pao’s blues-inflected phrasing that has graced stages from Montreux to Tokyo.

This is the duo we’ve all been waiting for! Joyce’s technical brilliance and Eugene’s storytelling mastery—it’s where jazz tradition meets tomorrow. 

The serendipity of this artistic meeting is matched only by CODA's intimate 35-seat setting, creating what promises to be one of Hong Kong's most talked-about jazz events of the month. Priority booking recommended.
