John Carroll Kirby, a Los Angeles-born pianist, producer, and musician, will take the JZ Club stage this evening for a special show. From collaborations with Solange and Frank Ocean to appearances at Fuji Rock and Asagiri Jam, as well as a US tour with Khruangbin and participation in a Hosono Haruomi tribute project, his latest album Blowout won Best Jazz Album at the A2IM Libera Awards. The music for this performance will revolve around the sonic framework of his album "Conflict," featuring a more ambient sound, blending delicate and psychedelic synthesizer layers with improvisation, and also showcasing some new tracks to be released this year. The opening performance that evening will be presented by esteemed and versatile Shanghai jazz songstress Voision Xi, whose vibrant, sensual, and aromatic garden of spiritual jazz, bossa nova, hip hop, neo soul, and electronic has enchanted listeners for years.
