With her debut Mack Avenue Records album
Crime Zone (available October 12), next generation Los Angeles P
ianist, Connie Han, has created an edgy blend of modern and traditional jazz. Han's parents, both practicing classical musicians, instilled an appreciation for music and a strong work ethic in Han very early on, enrolling her in piano lessons at the age of five.
"Learning the piano as a child was a gift. By the time I became interested in jazz at the age of 14, I had great
technical proficiency on my instrument allowing me to focus all of my energy on the more sophisticated elements of jazz music. More importantly, I was able to tackle the social equation of learning how to play with others. It takes a lot of time and patience to internalize the essence and heartbeat of jazz."
The 22-year-old's connection to Jazz began at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts where she met
and was mentored by drummer Bill Wysaske, who produced Crime Zone and has also become the musical director of her trio. Han shares her LACHSA alumni status with GRAMMY® Award-nominated jazz pianist and composer Gerald Clayton. After a three-week stint at UCLA, Han immediately began her professional piano career at 17-years-old; a step that Han believes gives her an overall edge against most players her age.
Han will be coming to the Dirty Dog from gigs in California and Indiana. For more information on Connie Han, please visit ConnieHan.com
