Susanna Risberg: Bold As Love
by Ian Patterson
Listen to Susanna Risberg playing and it doesn't take long to realize that the twenty-eight-year-old Swedish guitarist is a bit special. Despite her relatively young years Risberg has been gigging for fifteen years already, turning more than a few heads along the way with a style that is unflashy yet exciting, technically impressive yet emotionally keen. ...

Eunhye Jeong: Chi-Da
by Ian Patterson
Boston-based, South Korean pianist Eunhye Jeong's second release as leader couldn't be more different from her debut, Turtle Suite (2015). That recording brought jazz and traditional Korean musicians together on a set of melody-based originals where Song Yi Jeon's wordless vocals were as much a protagonist as Jeong's elegant piano playing. Chi-Da, by contrast, is a ...
Sungjae Son: Near East Quartet
by Ian Patterson
Billed since its 2009 inception as Near East Quartet, the elevation of saxophonist Sungjae Son's name reflects the saxophonist's status as founder and de facto leader of this South Korean outfit, which forges a contemporary path from traditional roots. Its only previous album, the instrumental Chaosmos (KT Music, 2010) featured two percussionists alongside Son and co-founder, ...
