 The western jazz influences were shaped predominately by American jazz musician Buck Clayton.Nowadays, shidaiqu has inspired Gary Lucas for his album "The Edge of Heaven" and DJs such as Ian Widgery and his "Shanghai Lounge Divas" project.On the other hand, if cinema was the origin of many songs, Wong Kar-wai used them again for illustrating his movie "In the Mood for Love"; Rebecca Pan, one of the actresses in this film, was also one of those famous shidaiqu singers.
