Album Description

A New York-based Korean Jazz vocalist and songwriter, Hyeonseon Baek, introduces his first album 'Longing' which will be released on April 26. The music tells the story, which is some different type of desire with our love, egotism, and life with his mellow vocals and intricate ensemble playing. The sound is a sophisticated interaction of modern jazz harmony and fascinating rhythms that instantly intrigues your ear. Baek says that his goal is to cross cultural and generational boundaries, creating music that combines traditional jazz with a modern approach that will appeal to younger audiences. To achieve those artistic heights, he has partnered with some of New York's finest progressive jazz musicians, including woodwind specialist Lucas Pino, pianist Kevin Hays, bassist Linda May Han Oh, and drummer Jochen Rueckert Their love of risk-taking and musical adventure is reflected in Baek's daring approaches to jazz standards like "Lush Life," "The Peacocks," and "Black Narcissus." Further, the group's preparedness allowed them to work efficiently in the studio, maintaining a fresh and consistent approach to every song on the disc.
