We have prepared a Jazzy Afternoon for you next Monday (Oct 5)! Visit this website http://www.news.ccc.cuhk.edu.hk/middayoasis/ at 1:30pm, or come to Chung Chi College Chapel and enjoy a wonderful Midday Oasis performance by multi-award winning vocalist Professor Roger Chung & virtuoso pianist Jezrael Lucero. The duo will perform jazz, gospel and hymns from around the world, classic and modern.

Professor Roger Chung, PhD, is a recording artist, producer, composer, lyricist, radio host, and music educator.  The Chung Brothers, formed with his brother, is a celebrated musical duo with considerable influence in jazz and gospel music.  They were named “The Best Jazz Artists” by the Chinese Music Awards, “The Best Group of the Year” by the Chinese Music Media Awards, and three-time winners of Hong Kong’s prestigious “Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong (CASH) Golden Sail Music Awards.”  He has collaborated with multiple-Grammy winning gospel legend Andrae Crouch, legendary Shanghai Diva Yao Lee, among others.  “Song Book,” Chung’s first debut album as a solo jazz vocalist, is one of the best-selling albums in 2019.

Hailed as a “contemporary Mozart” by the Filipino media,  Jezrael Lucero is a blind piano prodigy whose mastery of the instrument span across all different types of musical genres, including jazz, blues, R&B, gospel, latin, afro-cuban, country, pop and classical. Upon arrival in Hong Kong, he quickly became a tour de force in the local live music scene, and participated in recordings and arrangement works of major pop artists, including diva Sandy Lam, R&B boy of wonder Khalil Fong, and the award-winning gospel-blues group the Chung Brothers.  “Song Book” is the first album that features Jezrael Lucero as a pianist and arranger at the forefront, and marks his first collaboration with Roger Chung as a co-producer.
