The Jazz Supreme Orchestra
\n\nThe name of "Jazz Supreme" comes from paying tribute to John COLTRANE's "A Love Supreme" and its core spirit to summon the love and beauty of the universe with jazz. Furthermore, "The Jazz Supreme Projects" look forward to extending the value of jazz into people's daily lives. The Founder and Music Director, Vincent HSU, hopes to introduce the audience to various instrumentations, sounds, and styles of jazz through a series of live performances, master classes, lectures, radio and cross-disciplinary exchanges. "The Jazz Supreme Orchestra" is one of the platforms to gather different generations of jazz musicians. In the future, "The Jazz Supreme Projects" will continue to nurture and diversify Taiwan's jazz culture through the collaboration and co-production between international and Taiwanese musicians.
