Description:

After studying under world-renowned pianist Mike Nock at an Australian music school, he later expanded his activities to Japan, China, and his own roots in Korea, and his performance at the Detroit Jazz Festival in 2016 was praised by American jazz media, among other worldwide activities. This new album features a duo performance with percussionist Xavier Disandre Navarre at Sunset Sunside, a long-established jazz club in Paris, on September 25, 2018. Reminiscent of Shai Maestro and Tigran Hamassian, this is a pleasing blend of flowing pianism and ethnic rhythms.
