Although he is considered fully Danish by his peers, he has throughout his life felt a strong longing for his roots. The year 2013 marks Jakob Park’s reconnection with his homeland. He will be spending a large part of the year in South Korea with a desire to integrate the local music scene and make his music a vehicle for cultural exchange between his two home countries, Denmark and South Korea. Jakob Park’s music has been described as lyrical and elegant jazz, a delicate musical universe filled with groovy beats, sweet harmonies, tantalizing colors and a strong fairy tale sentiment.
