South Korean-born, NYC resident bassist Jeong Lim Yang brings her Zodiac Trio with Argentinian-born pianist Santiago Leibson and Jason Levis. The trio met in NYC years ago whilst Cleaver resided in the city, and formed the trio to recreate Mary Lou Williams’s iconic record Zodiac Suite from 1945. The record is titled “Zodiac Suite: reassured” (fresh sound 2022).
… [Jeong Lim] Yang takes on Williams’ expansive, astrology-based suite (…) and manages to both pay tribute to the composer’s adventurous spirit and inject her own essence into the songs.”
