Description Growing up in Shanghai, Lin Dong Fu defied The Cultural Revolution to pursue his passion for frowned-upon 'Yellow Music' (jazz) and forge a career in China's rapidly developing entertainment industry. He has become a renowned celebrity TV host, actor, voice-over superstar, and raconteur but most importantly a jazz impresario. Christened Shanghai Slim by no less a jazz legend than Bo Diddley, Lin Dong Fu's House of Blues and Jazz is known all over the jazz world as THE place to go in China.
