When jazz and kung fu meet… something very special is created.
Trumpeter Carlo Nardozza (Brussels Jazz Orchestra, WDR Big Band, Henri Texier) has been intrigued by this Chinese martial art for a long time and has been practicing it for years. Because his fascination for it is as intense as his fascination for music, he set out to find a way to bring these two passions and disciplines together.
Five jazz musicians with impressive collective baggage share the stage with six kung fu masters led by Sifu Wai-Lam Yip.
An authentic lion dance dating back to the Tang dynasty (618-906), echoes of war drums and blistering jazz interact. Improvisation and choreography alternate. Animal acrobatic movements are supported and stimulated by live music.
The Siu Lam Project is an unusually original and engaging crossover that rises to the challenge combatively.
