At the launch press conference, singer Trinh Vinh Trinh shared: "I feel in the artists of Let's Love Jazz a sincere love for Trinh's music and a desire to converse in their own language."

Let's embrace jazz by focusing on refreshing and spreading Trinh Cong Son's music through arrangements with jazz, fusion, and acoustic elements, combined with translations into English, Japanese, and Korean.

The project creates a creative playground for young jazz artists and talented singers at home and abroad with the goal of connecting a generation of young art-loving audiences and bringing Trinh's music to the world through a bridge of musical culture.

Singer Quynh Pham, known as "The Jazz Lady" of Hanoi , said: "Reimagining Trinh Cong Son's music has become an inspiring musical trend, but for the most part, it has only been isolated experiments. Let's Love Jazz aims to create a long-term, meticulous, and connected journey, bringing Trinh Cong Son's music closer to the new generation and out into the world."

The project will be implemented in three phases. Phase 1 (2025-2026) involves searching for young vocal talents, organizing mini-shows, online concerts, and releasing revamped albums in the spirit of dialogue between jazz and Trinh Cong Son's works. Jazz Lovers' Stations will be established in Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City, where young artists will receive guidance, inspiration, and live performances.

Phase 2 (2027) - expanding cooperation with international artists, releasing digital music, organizing 4 large-scale concerts in 4 major cities of Vietnam and performing abroad.

Phase 3 (2028) - launching new works, organizing a series of Vietnamese-international jazz exchanges, releasing albums in foreign markets, with the participation of international singers.

After the launch ceremony, the project will release an EP with 5 bilingual versions on digital music platforms. The Deluxe version (8 songs) is expected to be released on February 28, 2026, on the birthday of the late musician Trinh Cong Son, in 3 formats: Digital, CD, Vinyl.

Music director Vu Quang Trung said the arrangement process was a big challenge: "Jazz is improvisation, while Trinh's music is simple and profound. We tried to find a way to balance it to keep it close but bring in new colors, from harmony, rhythm to the way each artist handled it."

As a language consultant, Dr. Nguyen Nhat Tuan (Hanoi University) shared: "Translating Trinh's lyrics is not just a translation but also a rewriting of emotions in another language. I have to find an equivalent emotional rhythm between the meaning and the music to preserve Trinh's soul."
