The “Oolong Espresso” project debuted in March 2024 at the Blue Note in Shanghai and Beijing, thanks to the valuable support of the Italian Cultural Institute in China. Born from the meeting of Strucky Yi (piano) and Niccolò Faraci (electric bass) in China in late 2019—just before the long pause caused by the COVID-19 pandemic—this cultural bridge, made possible through the universal language of jazz, combines the value of tradition with fresh perspectives for the future. Jazz has always been a way to write a constantly evolving diary of experiences, and it is in this spirit of profound brotherhood that the two artists present an original repertoire. Its harmonious contrasts evoke a return to celebrating life—peacefully and free from discrimination—in a happy place where the landscape is painted with both European and Asian atmospheres.
