these recordings are from me playing in Taipei, Taiwan with my quartet. It was my first time organizing a whole set of jazz performance(I'm currently a college student major in classical percussion), so I wanna share with you all. Put some comments down below and let me know how do you feel about it! Happy New Year everyone!
