From 1988 until now Minh has been training a large number of students and co-operating with several other artists to perform jazz regularly. From these people, a sufficient number of qualified performers were chosen to form the Red River Jazz Band. In October 1997 Vietnam’s first Jazz Club officially began its activities at the Giảng Võ Exhibition Centre, giving performances every night with the intent of increasing the skills of jazzmen as well as the awareness of and interest in Jazz among Hanoians.
