AAPI Heritage Month Salon Series
A Community Affair: Asian American Lineages as Bay Area History
featuring Francis Wong, Jon Jang, Scott Oshiro, and Roopa Mahadevan
Join us for the second installment of our Friday Salon Series celebrating AAPI Heritage Month, featuring insightful panel discussions, live music presentations, light refreshments, and community conversation. Curated by Francis Wong,
Chris Trinidad, and Noah Rosen in collaboration with Asian Improv aRts and Iridium Records.
This session spotlights the history and influence of Asian American jazz — a practice deeply rooted in the Bay Area’s multicultural history and unique in its emphasis on Asian American social issues and the fusion of traditional Asian instruments with jazz vocabulary. A panel of musicians discuss their efforts to continue to shape the sound of Asian diasporic expression while engaging in community efforts toward solidarity and equality.
This May, in honor of Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, the Jazzschool celebrates the contributions of Asians in Bay Area jazz through a series of salons and concerts organized in collaboration with artists in the AAPI community.
