Patrick Lui Jazz Orchestra (featuring RubberBand)
Kicking off the thrilling two-day jazz marathon is Hong Kong’s very own Patrick Lui Jazz Orchestra. Led by award-winning pianist, keyboardist, composer, arranger and producer Lui, the homegrown jazz orchestra is known for its original big band works, some of which performed under the direction of Grammy nominee Dr Gene Aitken, as well as a variety of music festivals including Clockenflap. That’s some impressive resume. Lui is also a frequent collaborator with popular Hong Kong band RubberBand, who will also be making an appearance at this year’s Jazz Marathon along with saxophonist Will Vinson for what promises to be an electrifying performance.
