With the critically acclaimed and freshly released album *Closeness II* in tow, bassist, vocalist, and composer – known as a steady and inventive force from collaborations with Gurls, Sting, Manu Katché, and Bugge Wesseltoft – demonstrates how the best of jazz and pop can come together. The result is unique and genre-defying music that proves it's possible to create hit songs without losing ground in jazz.

Wang's *Closeness* band has garnered international recognition for its musical interplay, and since their debut album, they have played around 100 club concerts and festivals across Europe, headlined jazz festivals such as the Athens Jazz Festival, Moldejazz, and the London Jazz Festival. With a sound that is both melodic, catchy, and vital, Wang blends styles in exceptional ways, and she has a remarkable ability to create atmospheres that touch both the heart and the soul. On her team is the British rising star Rob Luft on guitar (John Surman, Django Bates) and the Swedish, highly regarded drummer Jon Fält (Bobo Stenson Trio).
