Near East Quartet + Kyungso Park

Near East Quartet have been a force in Korean music since 2010, juxtaposing elements of contemporary jazz and traditional Korean music with pure sound exploration to create new forms. Saxophonist/clarinetist Sungjae Son and guitarist Suwuk Chung have been members from the outset and the group has recently added pansori singer Borim Kim and a highly creative drummer Soojin Suh. They release their self-titled album on ECM this summer.
