Peace Hotel jazz band: The ‘Shanghai style’

Shanghai is arguably the most international city in China. It was the first city to have modern department stores, movie theaters and steakhouses. It has the world’s oldest jazz band, literally, Guinness World Record-certified. The musicians playing at Shanghai’s Peace Hotel, are on average over 80 years old. The Peace Hotel jazz band's performance was an occasion to dress up for. The Shanghai style has been an organic mixture of old and new, East and West. This value of openness and modernism is shared across time.

I stayed at the Peace Hotel in 1977 and watched this band. Maybe some original member from the 1930’s. Nostalgia!

I visited Shanghai since 1988 until 2010 and lived sometimes in Peace Htl. I was several times to watch OldJazzBand and talking with the oldest man, Mr Zhu. Wow, what experience ! I lived in the 30's Shanghai.

Wonderful, thank you for this video! I hope I get to see this band sometime.

Dined here in 1995, absolutely epic. Seems to be a bit livelier now. Wished I had stayed at the Peace Hotel.
