Haeun Joo | We Will Find | Album
An introspective exploration of deep, almost existential thoughts realized in a hopeful idiom with dashes of melancholia (and with nods to the wordless singing and smooth trumpet lines of Norma Winstone and Kenny Wheeler), “We Will Find” is contemplative jazz with a modern sensibility. The eight tracks that make up We Will Find represent the first complete set of original statements from pianist Haeun Joo committed to disc. Recorded in two sessions in 2019, the album is a carefully arranged selection of original compositions that stand as strongly as an overall artistic statement as they do a selection of individual tunes. There’s a calm assurance to both Joo’s playing and her compositions, which are lyrical and accessible but never without sparky musical intuition.
