Anthony Fung CD Release

The Sound Room is aptly named. The focus is on the sound or the music. Unlike clubs where the performance may be peripheral to the experience, at the Sound Room the performance is the experience.  We are an all-ages listening room. We exist to present great music and promote jazz as an art form.The Sound Room is the home of Bay Area Jazz & Arts, a  501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on promoting the Arts.

In that time, the world was dealing with a lot of political issues and media craziness. At that time, the US shut it&#x27;s borders to Canada (his home), so I felt trapped with no control whatsoever except watching what was happening on the news. That&#x27;s why I decided to call it &quot;What does it mean to be free?&quot; Besides the emotional aspect, I just really tried to capture the music in that specific moment during covid&quot;. Appearing with Anthony is a prestigious line-up: Alex Hahn - Alto SaxMichael Ragonese - PianoLuca Alemanno - BassAnthony Fung - Drums
