Stage time / 8:00pm
An international jazz group led by SongAh Chae from South Korea, based in Valencia, Spain. She displays her artistry through her original compositions with delicate touch and explosive expression from straight-ahead jazz/ECM to fusion with Samuel Keri from Hungary and Joshua Wheatley from England.
They all studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston and did a master program at Berklee Valencia campus, and they share common thoughts, experiences and passion for their music. Currently they are based on Valencia to spread out to every parts of Spain and other European countries.
This group fits both in a small stage as intimate and delicate way of interacting, and a big stage as each of us are fully functioning with their own instrument.
They have been actively performing around Spain. Almost every month at Jimmy Glass as one of the outstanding jazz groups in Valencia, Clasijazz in Almeria, Assejazz in Seville, Fifty-fifty Jazz Festival in Asturias and so on.
They will release a new album in the beginning of January 2024, and they will go on tour from Valencia, moving toward to Southern parts of Spain at Assejazz in Sevilla, at Clarence Jazz Bar in Malaga, at Clasijazz in Almeria, and move to the northern parts.
It is rare to see female band leaders in the jazz scene, so they hope this project can also encourage female instrumental players to forge their career.
Their capabilities are limitless and enthusiasm is boundless.
