Walking the Path

Gilles Peterson

Last night Winnie and I went to the opening of Shanghai’s Jazz Festival. I really enjoyed the night (except for the cheesy Jing’an government opening ceremony — which nobody seemed to like). The highlight had to be Gilles Peterson. 

I had to admit he was the reason I went to the Jazz Festival, but still watching old Chinese people along with young people and foreigners dancing to I Heard It Through the Grapevine all the way through to African jazz and house was amazing. Well worth the RMB 100.
