【Jazz Future: Sing Pun Trio feat. Vera Lai】

本次在 CODA 的演出，將由目前於荷蘭鹿特丹音樂學院（Codarts）主修爵士結他的 Sing Pun 領軍。這位近年活躍於香港與荷蘭兩地的年輕樂手，不僅是本地Gypsy Jazz代表樂團 Hot Club de Hong Kong 的一員，更先後成立了融合樂隊 FUZEY 以及自己的爵士三重奏。

這場演出Sing Pun 將透過選曲，向影響他至深的三位傳奇爵士結他手致敬——包括旋律靈動飄逸的 Wes Montgomery、當代技藝與構思兼具的 Jonathan Kreisberg，以及曾贏得 Thelonious Monk 國際爵士結他大賽冠軍的 Jesse Van Ruller。另一方面，演出也將呈現 Sing Pun 個人的原創作品，讓觀眾有機會一窺這位學院派新銳在吸收大師養分後，如何形塑自己的音樂語言。

Sing Pun 邀請了默契十足的夥伴組成rhythm section：低音大提琴手 Vera Cura，除了擁有與 Hot Club de Hong Kong 及 Sing Pun Trio 的合作經驗，也正投入遊戲原聲帶創作；鼓手 Peter Yip，作為另類搖滾樂隊 INTROVERSE 的創團成員，並擁有與多位流行藝人合作的豐富經歷。

特別值得關注的是，本次演出特邀了本地爵士女歌手 Vera Lai 加入。畢業於大學音樂系的她，憑藉扎實的學院訓練與豐富的海外演出經驗，能游刃有餘地駕馭搖擺、巴西爵士、藍調等多樣曲風。

從經典標準曲、結他大師作品的重譯，到原創曲目的發表，觀眾將能完整感受 Sing Pun 及其樂伴們如何站在巨人的肩膀上，訴說屬於這個世代的爵士故事。

This CODA performance is led by jazz guitarist Sing Pun, currently studying at Codarts in Rotterdam. Active between Hong Kong and the Netherlands, he plays in Hot Club de Hong Kong and also leads the fusion band FUZEY and his own jazz trio.

With his song choices, Sing Pun pays tribute to three of his biggest influences: Wes Montgomery, Jonathan Kreisberg, and Jesse Van Ruller, while also presenting his own original works to showcase his personal musical voice.

He is joined by a tight‑knit rhythm section: double bassist Vera Cura, who also writes music for game soundtracks, and drummer Peter Yip, founding member of the alternative rock band INTROVERSE and an experienced pop sideman. Special guest vocalist Vera Lai, a musically trained jazz singer with overseas experience, will add warmth and storytelling through styles ranging from swing and Brazilian jazz to blues.

From reimagined standards and guitar classics to new original pieces, this concert invites audiences to hear how Sing Pun and his band build on the greats to tell a contemporary jazz story.
