CONNIE HAN TRIO: Jazz at the Maverick

The Connie Han Trio manifests a vision of freedom and calculated risk-taking upon the lineage of the artistic jazz pantheon established by the likes of Kenny Kirkland, Hank Jones, Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson, Sonny Rollins, and Miles Davis’s Second Great Quintet.

Called “one of the brightest young stars in jazz” by JAZZIZ Magazine, 29-year-old jazz piano wizard Connie Han has called upon the uncompromising mastery of celebrated bassist and composer Robert Hurst who has contributed to seven award-winning recordings and jazz iconography across contemporary music as well as GRAMMY-nominated drummer Damion Reid who has been praised by critics for his “controlled fury” and “microscopically complex beats” over the years.

Gustav Mahler once said, “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” With each upcoming performance and recording date, Connie Han continues to fulfill this axiom with tenacity and identity — standing on the shoulders of the giants who have so deeply impacted her artistry.
