This evening is a great opportunity to meet Ph.D. Andrew Field, a Shanghai historian who filmed and directed A Century of Jazz in Shanghai, released this year. This 80-minute documentary film explores the convoluted history of jazz in Shanghai, from its rise in the 1920s to the post-pandemic 2020s.


Each ticket come with two drinks, including cocktails, mulled wine, and soft drinks as well as includes bistro snacks and the chance to win lucky draw prize!


About the Film: A Century of Jazz in Shanghai


During the 1920s-1930s, Shanghai was the jazz capital of China and East Asia. Then came war and revolution, and the city's identity as a global jazz metropolis quickly faded away. Beginning in the 1990s, a few brave people revived jazz in a city and country where the music and its ethos had been banished for an entire generation by the new society under Chairman Mao.


Filmed between 2004 and 2021, the film features original footage of live bands and club scenes in Shanghai during different eras in the city's history. It also contains interviews with many of the people who built the city's jazz scenes over the past 25 years or more, including the redoubtable Lin Dongfu, owner of the House of Blues & Jazz, and Ren Yuqing, founder of the JZ Club.
