Li Gaoyang and his band consists of four promising young Chinese jazz players, namely Shao Haha on drum, Li Gaoyang on EWI and saxophone, Jin Ye on piano and keyboard, Hu Hao （or Bi Zhigang）on bass. These four prominent musicians have played an active role in the jazz stages home and abroad, with the band being considered by many experts in the industry as an emerging power brimming with incredible creativity and capability.

The band is committed to jazz study and improvisation. They recompose some Standard in Hard Bop time, merging with it the features of speed, wisdom, freedom and self-affirmation advocated by metropolitans in the industrialized, information and urbanized age. With such effort, their music never fails to strike a chord among audience. Their original works with a combination of different elements reveal their concern for the global environment, pursuit of a harmonious and beautiful life and calling for the tender feelings of human beings.
