Chinese jazz musician releases new album

As a child, jazz pianist Luo Ning enjoyed lying under a big tree and seeing the rays of sunlight shine through the canopy of leaves after he was done with hours of piano practice.

Little did he know that this scene would become his inspiration for his original piece When Light & Shadow Meet, which is also the name of his latest album.

"When I learned classical music, I liked poetic pieces by Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Their pieces are full of colors, just like Impressionist paintings," says the Urumqi-born pianist.
