| HU Jianbing (Chinese sheng) jams with Dr. William Schimmel (accordion) at Tenri Cultural Institute in New York City @ the evening concert for American Accordionists' Association (AAA)'s annual master class, Jul 29, 2012. Member of Yo-yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble and a virtuoso Sheng master who received his sheng education in China, Jianbing Hu excels in contemporary composition and improvisation. Dr. William Schimmel, world renowned composer/philosopher/accordionist, first jammed spontaneously with Jianbing Hu at Kennedy center in early 2000s (in the back stage while taking a break from the performance.) After more than ten years of disconnection, they found each other again, and jammed in this formal setting for the last evening concert of the 2012 AAA master class. It was a REAL jam in the sense that they did not do any sort of preparation before hitting the keys/pipes. All that Dr. Schimmel and Jianbing Hu agreed upon before the show started was: "let's do five minutes." |
