麦斯威尔科德钢琴-海西爵士乐

　　正当台风“尼伯特”肆虐之际，一股更强的“爵士台风”正准备悄然来袭。几位来自上海的国际爵士乐大师们正准备于7月24日登陆东亚文化之都--泉州。这消息对于我们泉州广大乐迷来说简直就是一场福音，足不出户就可以欣赏到高逼格的爵士现场音乐会。除此之外，大师们还将与泉州的音乐莘莘学子们进行，的交流。语言不通?没事，我们配有专业的翻译;场地太小?此次的活动安排在泉州第七中学李群华体育馆，足够宽敞;天气太热?场地配备了大功率的空调，足够让大家冷静的听讲。我们的教师团队由自于世界各地的dinjian音乐人组成，有顺子“红节奏”以及莫文蔚演出团队的御用钢琴手Sean Higgins,曾经在伯克利音乐学院以及格莱美制作团队随行表演的鼓手Al Gordon等。他们将把多年积累的专业知识及舞台经验向学生倾囊相授。当晚还会为泉州音乐迷们带来一场原汁原味的爵士三重奏(Jazz Trio)，让我们拭目以待!
