SOO CHO JASS UNITED

Presentatie CD Pandora

Soo Cho piano/composities, Javier Girotto sax/flute, Sven Happel bas, Jasper Van Hulten drums

Pianist Soo Cho tones down the muscular and acrobatic playing of many of her young male colleagues. ‘I prefer a feminine approach: delicate, intimate, soft and beautiful’, she explained to the NRC Handelsblad newspaper. She still manages to reach a level of intensity, much like her great example Keith Jarrett. The Korean born artist has been playing piano since a very young age. After she discovered jazz, she moved to The Netherlands to study this music. On Soo Cho’s third album, Pandora, she plays with her new band Jass United, featuring saxophone player Javier Girotto.

The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 til 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance).
