Timothy Wan Quartet

【Jazz Future: Timothy Wan Quartet】

爵士樂壇的發展脈絡中，「傳承」始終是維繫其生命力的關鍵。過往Miles Davis, Art Blakey等爵士傳奇亦透過自己樂隊，培育出無數樂手。

Timothy Wan是本地資歷深厚的色士風手，畢業於紐西蘭奧克蘭大學爵士樂系，以紮實的bebop演奏功底著稱，並為台灣樂器品牌TK Melody的簽約音樂人。

本月在CODA Jazz Kissa，將上演一場別具意義的音樂會：資深色士風演奏家Timothy Wan，將帶領三位由他親自指導、來自翻騰學院（Fountain Academy）的年輕畢業生同台演出：鋼琴手Aero Yip、低音提琴手Chun Leung，以及鼓手Jeffrey Wong。

這三位年輕樂手皆是翻騰學院培育出的優秀畢業生，而Timothy正是學院的主要導師之一。這種「師徒同台」的組合，不僅是教學成果的展現，更體現了爵士樂手把手傳承的寶貴精神。

音樂會將致敬後波普（post bop）以至1970-80年代的經典作品，選曲包括爵士巨匠Wayne Shorter充滿詩意的〈Infant Eyes〉、小號手Kenny Dorham優美的〈Lotus Blossom〉，以及結他手Pat Metheny旋律動人的〈Song For Bilbao〉。

Throughout the evolution of jazz, “legacy” has always been the key to sustaining its vitality. Jazz legends like Miles Davis and Art Blakey nurtured countless musicians through their own bands.

Timothy Wan is a seasoned local saxophonist who graduated from the University of Auckland's Jazz Studies program in New Zealand. Renowned for his solid bebop technique, he is also a signed artist for Taiwanese instrument brand TK Melody.

This month at CODA Jazz Kissa, a particularly meaningful concert will unfold: Veteran saxophonist Timothy Wan will lead three young graduates from Fountain Academy, whom he personally mentored, in a joint performance: Pianist Aero Yip, double bassist (or electric bassist) Chun Leung, and drummer Jeffrey Wong.

All three young musicians are outstanding graduates nurtured by Fountain Academy, where Timothy serves as a principal instructor. This “teacher-student collaboration” not only showcases the fruits of his teaching but also embodies the invaluable spirit of jazz's hands-on tradition.

The concert pays tribute to post-bop and classic works from the 1970s and 80s, featuring selections including jazz maestro Wayne Shorter's poetic “Infant Eyes,” trumpeter Kenny Dorham's elegant “Lotus Blossom,” and guitarist Pat Metheny's melodically moving “Song For Bilbao.”
