Quyền Văn Minh
Quyền Văn Minh (born July 11, 1954) is a Vietnamese jazz saxophonist. He is considered the first jazz star and one of the most eminent musicians in Hanoi.[1] He is also known for running a jazz club in Old Quarter of Hanoi for years.[2]
Early life
Minh was born in Hanoi in a musical family. His father was a guitarist and saxophonist. His mother was a singer with good alto voice.[3] When he was a teenager, he began to teach himself jazz saxophone after listening jazz on radio during the Vietnam War.[4] At that time, the government kept culture under strict control. Minh's father did not support his son's interest in jazz until 1974, when he gave Minh an alto saxophone.[5]
