Alan Kwan, the Hong Kong-born guitarist, recorded his debut acoustic quartet album 'Petrichor' in 2018, which is now finally being released on clear-colored vinyl. After winning Taiwan's Golden Melody Award-often referred to as the Taiwanese Grammy-Kwan has also performed with Japanese jazz legends like Kazumi Watanabe and Masaki Hayashi, marking him as a rising star in the Asian jazz scene. This album was recorded in New York after Kwan graduated from the University of North Texas, just before returning to Hong Kong. The title 'Petrichor' refers to the unique scent produced when rain interacts with dry soil, symbolizing Kwan's emotions at the time of recording in the U.S. and releasing it in Hong Kong. The album features top-tier musicians from the New York jazz scene, including bassist Linda Oh, who toured with the Pat Metheny Trio, and the exceptional modern jazz drummer Johnathan Blake.
