April 30 marks the International Jazz Day, a celebration of a musical genre that blends elements of European and American culture. Jazz arrived in China as early as the 1920s, with Shanghai serving as its cradle. As a landmark venue in Shanghai, The Paramount witnessed the early development of jazz in China, including the emergence of the country’s first Chinese jazz band, the Jimmy King Band.
4月30日是国际爵士乐日，这是一个融合了欧美文化元素的音乐流派的庆典。爵士乐早在20世纪20年代就传入中国，上海是它的发源地。作为上海的地标性建筑，百乐门见证了爵士乐在中国的早期发展，包括中国第一支中国爵士乐队吉米·金乐队的诞生。
Founded by Jin Huaizu, commonly known as Jimmy King, the band was born out of his passion for music, which was nurtured by frequent visits to The Paramount to enjoy performances. His dream was to form a jazz band composed entirely of Chinese musicians. In 1947, the owner of The Paramount hired Jin to form a band. At his invitation, Zheng Deren, who later became known as the master of the double bass in China, joined the band, demonstrating his exceptional musical talent and making a significant contribution to the arrangements.
金怀祖是这支乐队的创始人，他对音乐的热爱孕育了乐队的诞生。他经常去百乐门剧院欣赏演出。他的梦想是组建一支完全由中国音乐家组成的爵士乐队。1947年，百乐门的老板聘请金组建了一支乐队。在他的邀请下，后来成为中国低音提琴大师的郑德仁加入了乐队，展示了他非凡的音乐天赋，并在编曲方面做出了重大贡献。
The Jimmy King Band gained popularity among Shanghai audiences for their polished performances and unique interpretation of Chinese pop songs in a jazz style. Their shows attracted large crowds, with queues for parking stretching several blocks, breaking the monopoly of foreign bands and paving the way for the development of jazz in China.
吉米·金乐队以其精湛的表演和独特的爵士风格诠释中国流行歌曲，在上海观众中广受欢迎。他们的演出吸引了大批观众，排队停车的队伍延伸了几个街区，打破了外国乐队的垄断，为爵士乐在中国的发展铺平了道路。
Zheng Deren excelled not only in performing and arranging for the Jimmy King Band but also continued to contribute to the jazz scene in the years that followed. In the mid-1980s, he was invited to perform at the Peace Hotel, recreating the jazz nights of the 1940s for audiences.
郑德仁不仅在吉米金乐队的表演和编曲方面表现出色，而且在随后的几年里继续为爵士乐做出贡献。在20世纪80年代中期，他应邀在和平饭店演出，为观众重现了20世纪40年代的爵士之夜。
As pioneers of Chinese jazz, the Jimmy King Band represented more than just a musical legacy; they affirmed the diversity of Chinese culture. And their music will continue to inspire future generations to explore and create jazz sounds unique to China.
作为中国爵士乐的先驱，吉米-金乐队代表的不仅仅是音乐遗产，他们还肯定了中国文化的多样性。他们的音乐将继续激励后人探索和创造中国独有的爵士乐。
