Vincent Hsu is a jazz bassist and composer from Taiwan, though it is his eight years spent in New York City that shaped him into the musician he is today. His debut album, Homeland, won Best Jazz Album at the 2014 Golden Indie Music Awards and was nominated for three Golden Melody Awards in 2015: Best Album, Best Composer, and Best Producer (Instrumental). It also won the 2014 “Best Instrumental Album” by the 8th Freshmusic Awards held by the music critics from Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan. He studied acoustic bass with outstanding musicians, including Cecil McBee, Victor Venegas, Andy González, and John Schaeffer (former Principal Bassist for the New York Philharmonic). Crossing jazz originals and Afro-Cuban music, he arrives at the Deer Head Inn with his brand-new album, Lullaby for the Youth, joined by the veteran duo of pianist Harold Danko and drummer Billy Drummond.
