Metropole Hotel Ha Noi

HA NOI (VNS) — The Martin Jacobsen trio will return this week with three concerts scheduled on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at the Metropole Hotel Ha Noi.

The trio, who have their base and find their inspiration in Paris, France, are composed of Danish-born Martin Jacobsen (tenor saxophone) and Vietnamese-French Vinh Le (piano) and Duy Linh Nguyen (acoustic bass).

These three experienced musicians will present some of the favourite tunes: well-known or less well-known jazz standards, the extraordinary songs of Michel Legrand and other French composers, as well as compositions by Jacobsen. The trio will perform some of the tunes, while the other tunes will be performed along with a Vietnamese jazz drummer, thus creating a unique collaboration between the musicians from Paris and the young jazz drummer from Viet Nam.

Last November, they performed in HCM City, Da Nang and Ha Noi for the first time and saw a rising interest for jazz among the young audience. — VNS
