Summer Jazz Night with Sangmin Lee

Media

2014 07 17  jazz icon

Join us for a cool summer night of inventive jazz fusion with the Sangmin Lee Group, led by renowned Korean jazz artist, drummer, and composer Sangmin Lee. Sit back and listen as the group performs Sangmin Lee’s non-traditional and eclectic original compositions. Lee provides introductions to each arrangement, and will explain his inspirations, musical influences, and technique.  

After the performance, Lee, one of Korea’s most sought-after session drummers, will share his experiences playing with Rain and many other famous Korean musicians, as well as what brought him to the U.S. and New York City. Then mingle with the musicians at the wine and cheese reception!


“Sangmin is a drummer of great musicality, wonderful sensibility, and captivating colors. He never lets his (great) technique stand in the way of music; instead he pushes everybody to the next level, in a subtle but powerful way. And he can swing & groove, too! “ - Jean-Michel Pilc -
