Absolutely Swinging: Big Band Goes Animated / 2026 New Taipei City Sheng-Yin Arts Festival

Presented as part of the 2026 New Taipei City Sheng Yin Arts Festival, "Jazz Big Band Goes Anime" features the Taipei Jazz Orchestra (TJO) in full big-band formation, blending the fiery energy of American jazz with the delicate melodies of Japanese anime classics. From the explosive brass section and the emotive saxophone lines to the rhythmic heartbeat of the rhythm section, each piece is reborn through contemporary jazz language, offering audiences a cross-generational and cross-cultural musical adventure.
