If you’re into jazz that mixes classic vibes with modern twists, Evgeny Pobozhiy and his all-star ensemble are hitting the stage for a few nights you won’t forget. With Evgeny’s virtuosic guitar leading the way, Trigger Su on piano, Danny Zanker on bass, and Pan Pan on drums, expect an evening of original jazz compositions blending funk, rock, soul, and contemporary classical. Some nights even come with dinner, so you can enjoy a full night out.

Evgeny Pobozhiy is a rising star in contemporary jazz and the first Russian musician to win the 2019 Herbie Hancock International Jazz Guitar Competition, a landmark event in jazz history.

His performances span Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, and international festivals, and he recorded his solo album Automatism in New York in 2025.
