John Chin - Journey of Han (2024) [Hi-Res]

Pianist and composer John Chin is a modern veteran of the New York jazz scene, having been a landmark player since his emergence in the genre in 1998. A GRAMMY-nominated sideman with Rene Marie (Sound of Red, 2017), Chin has performed alongside some of jazz’s most beloved figures, including Ron Carter, Benny Golson, Mark Turner, Dayna Stephens, and Ari Hoenig, among others. Now, with five albums as a bandleader under his belt, Chin has set out on an expedition to explore the concept of identity in America through engaging with both his personal identity as a Korean American, and his identity as a masterful creator within the great American art form that is jazz. Leading a trio of fellow Asian American jazz musicians Jeong Lim Yang (bass) and Jongkuk Kim (drums), Chin presents Journey of Han, a beautifully pensive observation on personhood and persona through diversity and individualism.
