Bohemian by Cathy Segal Garcia
Critical Jazz: “Real musical integrity. Songs that are stripped bare of the more commercialized pretentiousness of the music industry for tunes that have a unique story and artist to make sure the story is told. N.P.R jazz. The vibe of artistic integrity coupled with honest emotion for a captivating experience.”
First let me say, there are no overdubs on this recording. It was 2 days of joyous and non-judge-mental improvisation, within song structure! We hadn’t planned on recording a full project…we just wanted to document our musical relationship before Cho left Los Angeles, returning to Korea.
My former student, Joon Lee, opened an incredible jazz club in L.A. in 2009 called The Blue Whale. I’ve met many incredible musicians there, and one is pianist Yoonseung Cho...Growing up in Argentina, living and working in the States, and now in Korea. Cho and I were drawn to each other as people and musicians. Form and improvisation. We wanted a representation of that, and ended up with a wonderful duo recording!
