EVOLUTION OF JAZZ IN BEIJING: THE AH-Q STORY

05/04

14 年成长史,

   传承：阿Q正 传

十多年以来，阿Q爵士乐团在北京爵士界里像鲁迅小说里的角色一样顽固地坚持树立自己的音乐品牌，把各路乐手、不同风格、自己原创曲目荟萃一堂。欢迎来听听阿Q的故事，欣赏阿Q的即兴演奏。

Named after the main character in a Lu Xun novel, the Ah-Q Jazz Arkestra has stubbornly found its own niche in the Beijing jazz scene for more than a decade, bringing together an eclectic mix of musicians, styles, and original jazz compositions.  Come hear their story, and enjoy the playful creative sounds of Ah-Q.

当时有萨克斯管手大内（如今在纽约演出）和鼓手Andy Collier（如今在香港演出），还有一对来自加拿大的夫妇—歌手Nathalie Craan和吉他手兼爵士教育专家、作曲家Dave Beckstead。

The band's original line-up, playing regularly at the now missed Beijing CD Jazz Club, included saxophonist Atsushi Ouchi (now playing in New York), drummer Andy Collier (now playing in Hong Kong), as well as the amazing Canadian duo Nathalie Craan on vocals and jazz composer and educator Dave Beckstead on guitar.

多年以来，北京许多很优秀的爵士乐手参加过阿Q爵士乐团的演出，早期包括贝司手黄勇、鼓手小豆、和小号手文智勇，最近也包括萨克斯管手石喻吉和吴乐天、吉他手夏季、秦健喃、Simone Schirru、贝斯手邢一帆、和小号手王华兴和Kyle Gregory。

Over the years, the group has featured some of Beijing’s finest jazz musicians, including in the early days bassist Huang Yong, drummer Xiao Dou and trumpeter Wen Zhiyong, as well as more recently Shi Yuji and Wu Letian on saxophone, Xia Ji, Qin Jiannan and Simone Schirru on guitar, Xing Yifan on bass, and Kyle Gregory and Wang Huaxing on trumpet.

Born in Inner Mongolia in 1979, Xiaoguang started playing classical guitar as a child, later switching to saxophone at the age of 15 when admitted to the Inner Mongolia School of the Arts. He started learning jazz a few years later, moving to Beijing in 1999. He joined the Canglang band led by Mongolian singer Teng Ge Er (playing keyboard) in 2001, then in 2002 joined the Beijing City Big Band, led by jazz pianist Xia Jia.
