Jazz aficionados residing in Taipei’s Neihu District (內湖) won’t have to trek all the way downtown to hear live tunes anymore. Established in late 2021, multifunctional music space Sounds Good (好聲藝集) has been putting on jazz showcases in addition to its classical-oriented programs, their latest a pre-Valentine’s Day special on Friday featuring the Taipei-based Dino Dominelli Quartet.
Led by Canadian saxophonist Dominelli, the multinational group will blend modern jazz with Latin beats for a night of love-themed, “romantic and energetic songs.” These include a rendition of Chet Baker’s version of My Funny Valentine (which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year), and a surprise tune by the late diva Teresa Teng (鄧麗君).
Dominelli says that the venue will be hosting more jazz shows throughout the year, and he hopes that the efforts will attract more live music opportunities to Neihu.

The term’s modern connotations can range from womanizer or lecher to sexual predator, but it once referred to an important rural trade. Until the 1970s, it was a common sight to see a breeder herding a single “zhuge” down a rustic path with a bamboo whip, often traveling large distances over rugged terrain to service local families. Not only
By far the most jarring of the new appointments for the incoming administration is that of Tseng Wen-tsan (鄭文燦) to head the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF). That is a huge demotion for one of the most powerful figures in the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Tseng has one of the most impressive resumes in the party. He was very active during the Wild Lily Movement and his generation is now the one taking power. He has served in many of the requisite government, party and elected positions to build out a solid political profile. Elected as mayor of Taoyuan as part of the
Moritz Mieg, 22, lay face down in the rubble, the ground shaking violently beneath him. Boulders crashed down around him, some stones hitting his back. “I just hoped that it would be one big hit and over, because I did not want to be hit nearly to death and then have to slowly die,” the student from Germany tells Taipei Times. MORNING WALK Early on April 3, Mieg set out on a scenic hike through Taroko Gorge in Hualien County (花蓮). It was a fine day for it. Little did he know that the complex intersection of tectonic plates Taiwan sits
When picturing Tainan, what typically comes to mind is charming alleyways, Japanese architecture and world-class cuisine. But look beyond the fray, through stained glass windows and sliding bookcases, and there exists a thriving speakeasy subculture, where innovative mixologists ply their trade, serving exquisite concoctions and unique flavor profiles to rival any city in Taiwan. Speakeasies hail from the prohibition era of 1920s America. When alcohol was outlawed, people took their business to hidden establishments; requiring patrons to use hushed tones — speak easy — to conceal their illegal activities. Nowadays legal, speakeasy bars are simply hidden bars, often found behind bookcases
