The organizers clearly put a lot of thought into the program, which made for a pleasant outdoor concert. The evening’s MC, guitarist Gin Lin (林華勁), kept a good pace, engaged the audience well and reminded novices of concert etiquette (ie, clapping after solos) without being overbearing or heavy-handed. The Beitou Hot Springs Museum outdoor amphitheater, which seats around 400 people comfortably, is an idyllic and intimate.
The Taipei International Jazz Festival takes place every Saturday until July 26, with next week’s concert at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei. For more information see Taipei Times Page 13 on June 20, or visit www.taipeijazz.com.
