About this episode
Huang Ye discusses his journey as a jazz musician and his efforts to blend diverse cultural influences into his music.
Huang Ye is an innovative Jazz musician and music director at the Lincoln Center Shanghai. It won't be surprising to hear segments in his music reflecting the clamor of horns beeping during rush hour or a tiger's mighty roar. The 26-year-old artist once composed 24 works within one single month, but it took him more than a decade to find all the motifs he needed to create them. Let's find out how Huang has been devoting himself to transcending cultural barriers and incorporating diverse cultures into his music.
