Happy birthday to the amazing Jon Jang— a jazz legend who's always cool enough to blend East and West, Jazz with Asian melodies, and still never lose his rhythm! You've masterfully blended musical cultures, reminding us it's better when boundaries melt away (just like that cake you promised you'd save us all a slice of—but suspiciously disappeared).Seriously Jon, you've given voice and soul to Asian-American jazz, inspiring generations with your groundbreaking artistry. Your recent performances continue to dazzle audiences and remind us how lucky we are. May your year ahead be filled with laughter, surprises, funky new rhythms—and maybe some leftover cake!
