The repertoire will be a beautiful mix of songs pulled from jazz repertoire, traditional Chinese folk music and original composition.” Repertoire will include Chinese classics “Jasmine Flower” and “Shanghai Night”, the contemporary Taiwanese song “Moon Represents My Heart” and a selection of jazz standards such as McCoy Tyner’s “Contemplation”, Billy Strayhorn’s “A Flower is a Lovesome Thing”, Bill Evans’ “Turn Out the Stars” and Freddie Hubbard’s “Little Sunflower”.
