Featuring many of the artists as on the first album, Shanghai Jazz 2 returns to the lively sounds of the Chinese jazz age as The Clear Wind Band performs new renditions of treasured classics. Since the Asian release of ‘Shanghai Jazz’, the music has spurred momentum in the form of live performances in Singapore, Hong Kong and China, as well as being featured in the last Merchant Ivory film, ‘The White Countess’. In just three years the jazz scene in Shanghai has begun to make a full comeback approaching the excitement level of the good old days. 上海爵士２ 在把十二首美妙的经典歌曲给与新生命后，“上海爵士”专辑成功地令它们再次活跃起来。似乎这正是时候，去探寻和拯救那段黄金岁月中更多的爵士音乐。 “上海爵士２”这张新专辑，把充满生气的中国爵士年代找了回来。清风乐队重新演绎了这些珍贵的经典老歌。 自从“上海爵士” 在亚太地区推出后，专辑中的歌曲在香港、新加坡、以及中国的大型现场表演中引发了极大反响。该专辑也同时被收录在Merchant Ivory 制作的最新电影“白俄夫人”中，作为主要背景音乐。 在短短的三年间，上海的爵士乐景象，也开始向那往昔的黄金岁月，慢慢靠近。
