Jihye Lee Orchestra - Daring Mind (CD)

This extraordinary sophomore album from the Jihye Lee Orchestra showcases the Korean composer/conductor Jihye (jee-yey) Lee's adventurous and very personable storytelling approach to large-ensemble jazz-meets-classical music. Over the course of nine varied and spellbinding compositions it becomes clear she is following the footsteps of Maria Schneider and may just be one of the foremost composers of her generation. Daring Mind includes Lee’s award-winning 'Mind Series' (Relentless Mind, Unshakable Mind, Revived Mind, Dissatisfied Mind) and confirmed her place as an important new force on the New York music scene.
