Living a long life is sort of another present for fans or audience, particularly as a maestro who had a hard time as a jazz musician. While most of the jazz musician had short lives, Sonny Rollins is almost 80 years old now, the god of jazz goes around the world for the music. Although he walked up with a limp on the stage,  he played saxophone for about 2 hours and conducted his band. It was of course different from something that I listened in local jazz clubs. As I listened his music, I felt all of the saxophone playing that I listened before were just something in cabaret or something. Although there were too much playing percussion, generally it could never be better. 

Seoul 23rd May 2008

Is there anyone who wants to go to James Blunt's concert??
It's on 26 April in Olympic Hall, Seoul. Let's go together!

With sweet Zaha dulram Misook, I went to Hoam art hall on 4th. Jan. Until then I only knew about the name of the pianist, Kim Sunwook, but the concert was a duet with the cellist Chung Myung-hwa. Most of the audience might have focused to listhen to the grest cellist, but during the concert, both of us couldn't look off from his dramatic action. He is the first Korean, and youngest pianist who won first prize at Leeds competition. He is only nineteen years old and already 3rd at KNUA! Even Rachmaninov's sonata, it was really "playing" piano for him. Although he hadn't moved his body on purpose, the action was beautiful like dancing. Beautiful move in beautiful sound.
