MINA CHOI & BILL CUNLIFFE JAZZ ORCHESTRA with MAJO INSUASTI featuring Kaity B, and Ana Carvalho. Opening set: by Majo Insuasti Live at Campus JAX, a JAXblast Network Production. This is MINA CHOI'S BIRTHDAY BASH!!
“Mina Choi, who was born in South Korea and has long been based in Southern California, is a talented pianist, arranger, composer and conductor. While she has been quite active during the past decade including performing at top clubs and a few jazz festivals, and working as an educator, Stories is her recording debut.
While the soloists in her band are all world-class, the focus is on Mina Choi’s inventive arrangements. Although the influences of classical music and her Korean heritage are sometimes felt in her writing, the often-dense music is always modern jazz. Her originals in particular sum up her struggles and her optimistic attitude as an immigrant in Los Angeles.
Throughout Stories, Mina Choi’s writing is both unpredictable and logical. She has a knack for telling tales through music, making this an impressive debut. Stories is easily recommended and rewards repeated listenings.” - Scott Yanow, jazz journalist/historian
Jazz pianist, composer and Grammy Award-winning arranger Bill Cunliffe is known for his innovative and swinging recordings and compositions. Bill began his career as pianist and arranger with the Buddy Rich Big Band and worked with Frank Sinatra, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Benny Golson and James Moody. He has since established himself as a solo artist and bandleader, with more than a dozen albums under his name.
Bill currently plays with his trio; his big band; his Latin band, Imaginación; and his classical-jazz ensemble, Trimotif. He performs in the U.S. and around the world as a leader and sideman as well as a soloist with symphony orchestras.
MAJO INSUASTI is a singer and songwriter from Colombia and a rising star among young jazz vocalists. She debuted her first album “Origen” in 2021 as a World Music and Latin Folk artist. She graduated from Concordia University with a Bachelors in Music.
