Shanghai Jazz in Washington

Shanghai Jazz stars Coco Zhao, vocalist, and Peng Fei, violinist and arranger, arrive in Washington, DC to appear at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Jazz on Jackson Place at Decatur House. Espousing a decidedly progressive form of jazz, but steeped in Chinese culture, these two figures promise to bring an experience to Washington listeners that will be a real ear opener.

With other Shanghai based performers, Coco and Fei lead Possicobilities. Deeply rooted in Shanghai jazz, a history which began in the 1920's in Shanghai, Possicobilities is an electrifying ensemble that blends two powerful cultures.
