On 8th October, Typhoon Koinu hit Hong Kong. The Observatory hoisted strong wind signal No. 3 on Friday, and by Sunday, signals number 8 and 9 had come into force.
Many music fans had planned to visit one or more outdoor concerts that weekend, as Friday was the start of the three-day Freespace Jazz Fest in West Kowloon. Many shows were cancelled, including one of the most anticipated: the closing gig by drummer Antonio Sánchez and his band, Bad Hombre.

Antonio Sánchez has been playing the drums since he was five. In his early teens, he was performing rock, jazz and Latin music professionally. Also trained in classical piano and jazz studies, he’s known for his long-time collaboration with guitarist and composer Pat Metheny. His score for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s film, “Birdman”, which itself received four Oscars, earned him a Grammy award. Apart from that, he’s won four other Grammys, three Echo Awards, Golden Globe & BAFTA nominations, and has been named “Jazz Drummer of the Year” three times by Modern Drummer Magazine Although their concert was a no-go, Antonio Sánchez and vocalist Thana Alexa visited us in The Works studio a few hours before leaving Hong Kong.
