AAPI Jazz Collective Album Release Party
9 – 10:30PM
Come celebrate the AAPI Jazz Collective’s debut album, Identity, released through Origin Records. The AAPI Jazz Collective is an all-star ensemble featuring up-and-coming AAPI jazz artists throughout the tri-state area. Formed in 2019 by Taiwanese-American trombonist, Peter Lin, this ensemble strives to promote empathy through passionate musical expression through the band’s cultural roots. The AAPI Jazz Collective performs jazz-infused arrangements of classic and traditional Asian songs, as well as exciting originals they appropriately label as “The New Asian Songbook”. Their debut album, titled Identity, is not only a proper representation of their long relationship together, but also a guiding light for many other young AAPI artists looking for inspiration.
