Youngwoo Lee quartet

José Soares alto saxophone , Youngwoo Lee piano, Tijs Klaassen bass, Sun Mi Hong drums

Rough Diamonds Around Midnights means short, free admissable sets after the regular programme in which you can discover the talents of the Conservatorium of Amsterdam. This edition: the quartet of pianist Youngwoo Lee.

In his most recent project, Youngwoo Lee experiments with his musical identity. In it you hear influences from 20th-century harmonies or composers such as Olivier Messiaen, but also the complex rhythmic ideas and electronic sounds of contemporary jazz and improvised music. A complicated result you think? Youngwoo Lee proves the opposite with his singable melodies!
