Description:

Seit fast 15 Jahren lebt die sÃ¼dkoreanische Pianistin und Komponistin Jihee Heo nun schon in New York City und hat sich auf ihrer Reise durch das gewaltige Jazzpiano-Erbe der Stadt sehr gut entwickelt. Ihre Studien in Amsterdam und an der Manhattan School of Music mischten experimentellen Jazz mit Klassik und Bop, aber die reiche Verbindung, die sie vor einigen Jahren mit dem Schlagzeuger Joe Farnsworth und dem Bassisten Alex Claffy knÃ¼pfte, erweckt KlÃ¤nge, die sie seit ihrer ersten Begegnung mit dem Jazz in sich trug. Die Reise dieses Trios, das inzwischen in den New Yorker Clubs zu Hause ist, wird auf Flow dokumentiert, das Maureen Sickler in Rudy Van Gelders berÃ¼hmtem Studio in Englewood, NJ, aufgenommen hat. Bei zwei StÃ¼cken wird das Trio vom Alt-Titan Vincent Herring begleitet. -

Now almost 15 years into her New York City life, South Korean pianist & composer Jihee Heo has thrived during her deep journey into the city's towering jazz piano legacy. Her studies in Amsterdam and at the Manhattan School of Music blended experimental jazz with classical and bop, but the rich connection she discovered with drummer Joe Farnsworth and bassist Alex Claffy several years ago awakened sounds she's had stored away since she first encountered jazz. Now a steady presence in New York's clubs, this trio's journey is documented on "Flow," which was, appropriately enough, recorded by Maureen Sickler at Rudy Van Gelder's famed studio in Englewood, NJ. Joining the trio for two tunes is the alto titan, Vincent Herring. "Pianist Jihee Heo has a beautiful legato touch that builds on sturdy lyricism and lustrous harmonies, but her work also is filled with delicate, detailed figures." -Downbeat. "Fluid single note runs join colorful chordal voicings, as Heo establishes where this unit fits into the great tradition of the jazz trio." - All About Jazz
