A Gayageum; this one has 25 strings, Markham Jazz 2024
The only performance I have seen this year at Markham Jazz festival was from Robert Lee Group. The festival had to be mostly cancelled on Saturday, when torrential rain made outdoor performances impossible. Robert Lee Group was moved indoors, so I had a chance to hear the Gayageum musician Roa Lee. Roa began playing when she was 7 years old. Lee’s music can go from jazz to classical to traditional Korean. She tuned the instrument specifically for each song. Bassist Robert Lee played with Roa Lee, Jen Lo- piano, Alison Au- sax, Andrew McCarthy- drums, Jay Yoo- guitar and Jacqueline Teh vocals. Markham Jazz is one of mine top 5 favorite jazz festivals, so I was disappointed with the steady downpour which caused not just music cancellation, but also traffic nightmare and extensive flooding.
