There are two types of Jazz fans: those who know everything about Jazz and those who know nothing about Jazz. The former category are characterized by their obsessive, encyclopedic knowledge of ultra-obscure Jazz trivia, from the album for which Pat Metheny received the Grammy to the instrument Bix Beiderbecke played while recording "The Modern Suite". The latter category can be described as people who are too old for MTV but too young to give up entirely. They can be seen either at or hosting their own dinner parties, pulling cellophane off of a freshly purchased "Greatest Hits" CD, asking the other guests if they've heard how amazing the new Miles Davis album is. Expect both varieties to be in attendance at this weekend's Fuxing International Jazz Festival, a Jazz event ideal for people who like Jazz music and for people who tell people they like Jazz music. Slated as the first of a new annual festival, the event offers a variety of both classic and contemporary Jazz styles proving, according to the promoters JZ Group and China Interaction Media, that Shanghai is again the "Jazz capital of Asia." Held at Fuxing Park, but with select shows at JZ Club and the Campus Workshop in the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, the Fuxing International Jazz festival promises to carry on the momentum the Jazz community in Shanghai has been generating the past few years and propel the local Jazz scene to international status. Every major city in the world, from Tokyo to Montreal to Paris, puts on an international Jazz festival and if Shanghai wants to take its place among them as a vibrant and progressive Jazz city, hosting an international festival is a key component.
