【Jazz Signature: Alan Kwan x Bowen Li】

來自香港的結他手 Alan Kwan，近年憑多張作品建立成熟而清晰的音樂語言，從《Petrichor》到《Between Now and Never》，展現他在旋律線條、音色設計與結構思考上的持續探索，並多次獲金曲獎提名與肯定。他同時活躍於國際舞台，與多位歐美及亞洲樂手合作，亦涉獵跨媒體創作，讓音樂在不同藝術情境中延伸。

4 月 30 日，Alan 將再度與鋼琴家 Bowen Li 合作。兩人於東九文化中心的《穀雨》計畫中以雙人組合首次呈現原創音樂，透過結他與鋼琴的即興對話勾勒春雨的密度與節奏。這次演出將回到純粹的聲音層面，更直接地展現兩位樂手在音色、和聲與動態上的共同語感。

演出曲目將包括 Alan 為《穀雨》創作的原創作品，並加入他與林正樹合作的專輯《Liquid Sunshine》中多首原創曲目，另外也會演奏部分爵士標準曲。不同素材之間的穿插，讓兩位樂手能在熟悉的旋律框架中進行開放式即興，延伸並重塑作品的音樂方向。

Hong Kong guitarist Alan Kwan has developed a distinctive and mature musical voice through a series of projects in recent years. From Petrichor to Between Now and Never, his work shows a continued interest in melodic contour, sound design, and structural clarity, earning multiple Golden Melody Award nominations. He remains active on the international scene, collaborating with musicians across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, and often extends his practice into cross‑media contexts.

On April 30, Alan reunites with pianist Bowen Li. The two first performed together in the Ondées project at the East Kowloon Cultural Centre, where they used a duo setting to explore the shifting density and texture of spring rain through original music and improvisation. This performance returns to a purely musical framework, highlighting their shared sensitivity to tone, harmony, and pacing.

The program will feature Alan’s original compositions written for Ondées, alongside additional works from Liquid Sunshine, his duo album with Masaki Hayashi. A selection of jazz standards will also be included. By placing these materials side by side, the duo opens space for flexible, conversational improvisation—extending familiar themes while allowing the music to evolve in real time.
