【Jazz Signature: Paulo Levi x Freeman Lok 】來自巴西的多面向爵士色士風手

Paulo Levi出生於亞馬遜叢林三角洲，他的音樂生涯始於浸信會教堂，隨後進入Carlos Gomes Conservatory of Music學習音樂。

17歲時，Paulo 移居巴黎，並獲巴黎國立高等音樂舞蹈學院錄取，成為該校首位拉丁美洲學生，並參與了首屆歐洲爵士樂課程。

Paulo曾與眾多巴西及國際知名藝術家同台演出，包括Bibi Ferreira, Zezé Motta, Caetano Veloso, João Bosco, Claudio Nutti及格萊美獎提名者Duduka Da Fonseca等。

Freeman  Lok自幼學習古典鋼琴，在本地及國際比賽屢獲殊榮，是本地出色的鋼琴新星。在劍橋大學修讀音樂時發掘了對爵士樂的興趣，就學期間曾為英王查理斯三世表演。兩年前，他曾與格蘭美獎得主Jacob Collier即興交流，因而正式踏上爵士之旅。

Paulo的演奏備受本地樂手推崇，此次到訪CODA，將聯同Freeman帶來巴西風格的爵士樂，以及Paulo自己對爵士標準曲以及中國民謠的嶄新編曲。

敬請期待！
