Jason Gay began performing at age 16 touring up and down the East Coast with the drama and musical group "Uprising." He then attended Berklee School of Music in Boston and finished at Virginia Commonwealth where he obtained his B.A. in music. Jason performed with Ravi Coltrane, Jeremy Pelt, Sam Kininger, Reuben Rogers, Steve Lacy, NOBS brassband and the Temptations, among others.
In 2000 he joined the Navy and played in the Navy Band till last January before retiring to become a permanent resident of Hawaii.

About three years ago, Jason began studying Chinese folk and classical music. He feels blessed to have discovered such beauty and feels musically renewed through the study of Chinese music. He has drawn from various aspects of Chinese classical music and integrated them with elements from the American Jazz tradition to create something original and refreshing.

This will be a phenomenal and mind-blowing evening with some of Honolulu's best musicians. Don't miss this one!
