About the album

In whatever direction jazz might develop, I am ready to welcome the new jazz, bye-bye jazz era!
My music is meant to free jazz from jazz, without any labels.

Twelve first-class Korean jazz musicians have come together under the name of Jungsu Choi Tiny Orkester. Their European debut Tschüss Jazz Era will be released on Challenge Records, followed by a stage debut at BIMHUIS Amsterdam and at the Tillberg Theatre on 28 December 2017.

JTO is a big jazz ensemble consisting of five horns, cello, male voice, a four-piece rhythm section and composers with a unique, contemporary jazz interpretation and modern, original compositions. Band leader Jungsu Choi has had diverse rolls in all areas of music, be it orchestra, big band or electronic music. In his ten years of working in Europe, he has built a remarkable musical career and studied jazz composition, film music as well as electro-acoustic music at Vienna Conservatory and Kingston University London. His unique compositions and arrangements have been played by numerous orchestras and big bands. He has written for modern dance, musical, theatre, TV spots and film and also holds a leading position as educator with Korea’s Word Cyber College.

Legendary jazz composer Michael Gibbs comments on Jungsu’s music: “Wow! This is top-class, modern big band jazz, with solidly and very well made, unique arrangements – energetic, orchestral, demanding, skilfully written… Jungsu Choi’s music introduces us to his fascinating feel and his talent.”

Jungsu Choi has put together a great contemporary jazz ensemble with Korea’s best jazz musicians: Jinho Pyo (voice), Eunmi Kim (flute), Yusun Nam (alto saxophone), Hachul Song (tenor saxophone), Yejung Kim (trumpet), Junyeon Lee (trombone). They show an incredible performance, transporting Jungsu’s exceptionally demanding music with skill and creative solo performances.
The compact big band Jungsu Choi Tiny Orkester shows well how modern, orchestral jazz can interpret old jazz standards in a unique fashion.

Jungsu Choi: In the three years it took to compose and arrange the five tracks on this album, I never had the chance to actually hear them. In the course of all those years, they only existed in the shape of ink on hundreds of pages of paper. Tiny Orkester’s great musicians made it possible to transform music that only existed as ink on paper into real music! I had sketched half of the picture and my genius musicians coloured in the other half beautifully. That’s why this isn’t my, but OUR music.
Wohin der Jazz sich auch entwickelt, ich bin bereit, den neuen Jazz zu begrüßen, Tschüss Jazz Era!
Meine Musik soll den Jazz vom Jazz befreien, ohne irgendeine Etikettierung.
Zwölf erstklassige koreanische Jazzmusiker schlossen sich unter dem Namen Jungsu Choi Tiny Orkester zusammen. Ihr Europa-Debüt "Tschüss Jazz Era" erscheint auf Challenge Records. Ein Bühnendebüt erfolgt im BIMHUIS Amsterdam und im Tillberg Theater am 28.12.2017.
JTO ist ein großes Jazz-Ensemble mit einer einzigartigen zeitgenössischen Jazz-Interpretation und modernen Originalkomposition bestehend aus 5 Hörnern, Cello, Männerstimme, 4 Rhythmusgruppenspielern und Komponisten.
Jungsu Choi, der Bandleader, hat als Komponist, Arrangeur und Pädagoge in den verschiedensten Musikbereichen wie Orchester, Big Band, Film, elektronischer Musik unterschiedliche Tätigkeiten ausgeübt.
Während seiner 10-jährigen Tätigkeit in Europa baute er sich eine beachtliche musikalische Laufbahn auf und absolvierte Jazzkomposition, Filmmusik und elektroakustische Komposition am Wiener Konservatorium und an der Kingston University London.
Als Komponist und Arrangeur wurden seine einzigartigen Partituren von verschiedenen Orchestern und Big Bands gespielt. Er schrieb Musik für Modern Dance, Musical, Theater, TV-Spots, Film.... Als Pädagoge ist er in leitender Position für das Online-Musikprogramm am Word Cyber College in Korea tätig.
Michael Gibbs, ein legendärer Jazzkomponist, sagt so über Jungsus Musik:
Wow! Hier ist ein hochkarätiger und moderner Big Band Jazz, mit sehr gut und solide aufgebauten einzigartigen Arrangements - energisch, orchestral, anspruchsvoll, in gekonnter Handarbeit geschrieben...Jungsu Choi's Musik führt uns in sein faszinierendes Gespür und seine Begabung ein.
Jungsu Choi har ein großartiges zeitgenössisches Jazz-Ensemble mit den besten Jazzmusikern Koreas zusammengestellt: Jinho Pyo (Männerstimme), Eunmi Kim (Flöte), Yusun Nam (Altosaxophon), Hachul Song (Tenorsaxophon), Yejung Kim (Trompete), Junyeon Lee (Posaune) Sie zeigen eine unglaubliche Performance, der es gelingt, die außergewöhnlich anspruchsvolle Musik Jungsus mit sicherem Können und kreativer Soloperformance umzusetzen.
Die kompakte Big Band JUNGSU CHOI Tiny Orkester zeigt sehr gut, wie der moderne orchestrale Jazz alte Jazz-Standards einzigartig interpretieren kann.
Jungsu Choi: in den drei Jahren, die es gedauert hat, die fünf Stücke für dieses Album zu komponieren und zu arrangieren, konnte ich sie nie hören. Im Laufe der Jahre gab es sie nur als Tinte auf Hunderten von Seiten Papier. Die großartigen Musiker des Tiny Orkester machten es möglich, dass die Noten, die nur als Tinte auf Papier existierten, als echte Musik nachgebildet werden konnten! Ich hatte die Hälfte des Bildes skizziert und meine genialen Musiker haben andere Hälfte wunderschön koloriert. Deshalb ist es nicht meine, sondern UNSERE Musik.
