【Jazz Signature: Quadpolar】從CLS Trio到Quadpolar：一場溫柔的音樂變革

由CLS Trio蛻變而成的Quadpolar樂隊，四位成員在年齡、音樂品味與背景方面各具特色，卻因對爵士融合（Jazz Fusion）的熱愛而走在一起。

這種發軔於1960年代末的音樂流派，巧妙融合了爵士樂的即興精髓與放克、搖滾的強勁節奏，而樂隊此次特別準備了一份「溫柔演繹」歌單，展現他們對這一風格的獨特理解。

演出曲目精選自Weather Report複雜的和聲編排、Jeff Lorber流暢的鍵盤演繹，並將重新解構披頭士的經典作品。當然，更少不了他們融入香港城市氣息的原創作品——真正的融合不是純粹直白地將不同音樂元素疊加，而是透過音樂人自身的養分，創造全新的音樂風格。

四位成員的音樂根源分別來自古典鋼琴、放克貝斯、搖滾電結他與鼓組，而當這些元素在他們的音樂熔爐中交融時，產生的不是雜亂無章的段落，而是如樂隊名稱「四極」所喻示的穩定卻不失驚喜的Jazz Fusion。

Emerging from CLS Trio, Quadpolar unites four distinct musicians through jazz fusion's boundless spirit. This genre-blurring quartet reimagines Weather Report's complexity and Jeff Lorber's grooves alongside deconstructed Beatles classics and original compositions infused with Hong Kong's urban energy.

Their "gentle fusion" set showcases the band's unique alchemy: a classical pianist, funk bassist, rock guitarist and electronic percussionist creating cohesive magic from divergent styles. Like their namesake magnetic poles, these forces generate unexpected harmony - where Chopin meets Hendrix in a distinctly local synthesis.

More than revivalists, Quadpolar embodies jazz fusion's progressive ethos. As Miles Davis famously demonstrated, true innovation emerges when differences collide. Their music mirrors Hong Kong's cultural crossroads, proving fusion remains vital when reinvented through fresh perspectives.
