Tsai likes Blue Note records in '50s & '60s,so he named it. Now in Taipei, Blue Note is almost only place where you can listen to pure jazz played by Taiwanese musicians. They play standards and bebop tunes. Some young musians studied jazz in the US and came back to Taiwan. Show time is from 9:30pm to 12.]
