00:13:15And it basically means that making tofu is a lot of work.

00:13:19You have to get your soy, your spices, your coagulant,

00:13:22your water, and put it all in this big bowl

00:13:25and mix and mix and mix.

00:13:27Can't go to sleep, you have to mix it all night.

00:13:30And only then will you have good tofu.

00:23:21He eats, I eat, you eat

00:23:22He eats, I eat, you eat

00:23:24Cooked beef, steamed beef.

00:23:25And it has nothing to do with the original song.

00:23:28This is from the early 1960s.

00:23:31This is the first Japanese language song

00:23:33to be a Billboard number one hit.

00:23:35The lyrics are about a lonely man

00:23:37who is walking down the street

00:23:39looking up at the sky

00:23:41to prevent tears falling down his face.

00:23:44This arrangement uses the English lyrics

00:23:47made famous by the disco group

00:23:49A Taste of Honey from 1981.

00:23:52And in this arrangement,

00:23:53I wanted to capture the raindrops

00:23:55and the feeling of looking at the sky

00:23:57while tears are falling down your face.

00:24:00So here is Tsukiyaki.

00:24:03piano plays softly

00:24:20It's all because of you

00:24:23I'm feeling sad and blue

00:24:26You went away

00:24:28And now my life is just a rainy day

00:24:33I love you so

00:24:35How much you'll never know

00:24:39You've gone away and left me lonely

00:24:53Untouchable memories

00:24:56Seem to keep haunting me

00:24:59Of a love so true

00:25:01That once turned all my gray skies blue

00:25:05But you disappeared

00:25:07Now my eyes are filled with tears

00:25:11I'm wishing you were here with me

00:25:19Soft with love are my thoughts of you

00:25:24Now that you're gone

00:25:26I just don't know what to do

00:25:33If only you were here

00:25:36You'd wash away my tears

00:25:39The sun would shine

00:25:40And once again you'd be mine, all mine

00:25:45In reality

00:25:46You and I will never be

00:25:51You took your love away from me

00:26:10If only you were here

00:26:13You'd wash away my tears

00:26:16The sun would shine

00:26:17And once again you'd be mine, all mine

00:26:21In reality

00:26:22You and I will never be

00:26:26You took your love away from me

00:26:33You took your love away from me

00:26:38You took your love away from me

00:26:47You took your love away from me

00:26:54From me

00:27:04Thank you so much.

00:27:05Tsukiyaki.

00:27:10Okay, I know we're going to be

00:27:11celebrating the year of the snake,

00:27:14but we're going to play a song

00:27:16a song I wrote earlier last year in honor of the year of the dragon, just to send out the year of

00:27:22the dragon. So I wrote this piece for string quartet originally, the great string quartet

00:27:27interwoven, and they sounded so good playing it that I wanted to make a version for my band.

00:27:32So this will feature the great Andy Lin on Erhu, and it's called Dragon. In the myth of the

00:27:39great emperor's, the great jade emperor's race, which is how we got the animals in the zodiac,

00:27:45and he challenged different animals to race across a fast flowing river, and the order

00:27:50that they crossed is the order that they would become his heavenly guards, but then also they

00:27:55would each get a year in the zodiac. And so the dragon, even though it was the only animal that

00:28:01had magical powers, did not win the race. He actually came in fifth place, and the reason

00:28:06is because he helped a rabbit who was stuck clinging to a log. He spent time to help the

00:28:11rabbit get across. And I like to bring that up because in western cultures, sorry, in eastern

00:28:18cultures, the dragon is portrayed as a benevolent creature, which is very different from how it's

00:28:23often portrayed in western culture. So this piece, Dragon, tries to capture the spirit of the animal.

00:28:31So I hope you enjoy Dragon.

00:29:01So

00:29:31So

00:29:49So

00:30:01So

00:30:17So

00:30:31So

00:30:45So

00:31:01So

00:31:13So

00:31:31So

00:31:41So

00:32:01So

00:32:15So

00:32:31So

00:32:43So

00:33:01So

00:33:27So

00:33:31So

00:33:57So

00:34:01So

00:34:17So

00:34:31So

00:34:55So in the 1920s and 30s, there was a lot of American jazz happening in Shanghai,

00:35:00which is known as the Paris of the East at the time. There's a lot of cultural exchange happening

00:35:04in that period before World War II. And there's actually a whole repertoire of music that developed

00:35:09during that time frame called Shidaichu, or Songs of Our Time. It roughly sounds like movie music

00:35:15combined with swing and Dixieland plus some Chinese opera influences. And so the style developed over

00:35:22the years, and we're going to play something from the 1950s. I'm going to need your help on this

00:35:27one. Okay, so when I go like this, you got to sing it back to me. You may know this one from the

00:35:32movie Crazy Rich Asians, but it was actually written by the great singer John Hendricks in

00:35:381953. It was written for Louis Jordan. And later on in the decade, Grace Chang added some Mandarin

00:35:44lyrics. So we're going to do the Mandarin version of I want your love. This is again, John Hendricks,

00:35:53I want you to be my baby. So when I go like this, sing it back to me. All right.

00:35:57One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

00:36:27One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

00:36:57I, I, I want, I want, I want you, I want you, I want your, I want your love. Why don't you come to me?

00:37:09I, I, I want, I want, I want you, I want you, I want your love. Why don't you say it?

00:37:27I, I, I want, I want, I want you, I want your love. Why don't you come to me?

00:37:35I, I, I want, I want, I want you, I want your love. Why don't you say it?

00:37:41I, I, I want, I want, I want you, I want your love. Why don't you say it?

00:37:47I, I, I want, I want, I want you, I want your love. Why don't you say it?

00:37:57I, I, I want, I want, I want you, I want your love. Why don't you say it?

00:38:07I, I, I want, I want, I want you, I want your love. Why don't you say it?

00:38:17I, I, I want, I want, I want, I want you, I want your love. Why don't you say it?

00:38:27Why me, why me? I'm the girl for you, so you better start to face me. If you ever lose my love, you know I never can replace you.

00:38:44It's time for you to start to give me some love. I've got a unit of torch for you that's hotter than nothing.

00:38:48It's time for you to give me a little turtle dove and hold me tight and do what I tell you.

00:38:52I, I, I want, I want, I want you, I want your love. Why don't you say it?

00:39:15Thank you for your beautiful voices.

00:39:25Oh, thank you guys so much for being here tonight. We really appreciate the opportunity to share some of this music with you.

00:39:31I want to thank Ted, Amy, and everyone at the 1882 Foundation and the Kennedy Center for having us. It's been such a blast to play here.

00:39:39Let's hear it one more time. You're listening to Heona Park on the piano, Brian Copeland on the bass,

00:39:50Ronan Itzik on the drums, and Andy Lin on the erhu and viola.

00:39:58I'm Stephanie Chu, and we've got one more for you tonight. This is on my album Prime Knot,

00:40:02and it's an arrangement of a very famous traditional Chinese song called Jasmine Flower.

00:40:07If you like what you hear, you can take us home with you. We've got some CDs for sale.

00:40:11Please sign up for our mailing list, which is over by the merch table.
