CONNIE HAN Tickets

Hailed by Variety Magazine as “one of contemporary jazz’s most talented and inventive musicians,” 27-year-old piano wizard and composer Connie Han has established herself as one of the leading innovators in the contemporary jazz piano pantheon. Downbeat Magazine dubs Han “The Jazz Warrior-Goddess,” describing her with “a skill and ferocity unmatched by all but the most accomplished of pianists.”

Recognized by The New York Times as “the rare musician with fearsome technical chops and a breadth of historical knowledge,” the Steinway Artist’s signature percussion-inclusive language is marked by her rhythmic autonomy of the hands, pyrotechnic command of the keyboard, and a profound reverence for the musical legends who’ve influenced her style — Kenny Kirkland, Freddie Hubbard, Vladimir Horowitz, Hank Jones, and Art Tatum.

With an interpretation that belies her age, Han’s expertise shines in the piano trio idiom. Paved by Chick Corea/Roy Haynes and McCoy Tyner/Elvin Jones, the timeless drum-piano tradition is explored in Han’s interplay with longtime collaborator/drummer Bill Wysaske. The two like minds and their combined chemistry has proven exceptionally fruitful in Han’s career, as Wysaske’s myriad contributions include concept development, production, composition, and arrangement on all three albums released by Mack Avenue Records.
