Asian jazz diva Woongsan releases 10th full album! A masterpiece that shows artistic achievement as much as the weight of the number '10'! Ungsan 10th [Who Stole the Skies]

Jazz diva Woongsan is releasing a monumental 10th album. As a singer-songwriter, this album, which I put more effort into than ever before, is a masterpiece that not only wrote/composed almost all of the songs, but also showed the side of my career as a vocalist. In this album, especially in the fusion of ours (Korean traditional music, folk songs) and jazz, we present original and high-quality music.

In 'It's a Dream', a reinterpretation of a Namdo folk song, 'The Clown' written by Ungsan, 'Ganadara Blues', 'Guests', and the remake number 'Four Four Weeks', Woongsan is a jazz vocalist who perfects the traditional skills of pansori. Not only does he digest it well, he also shows excellent emotional acting. While there are modern psychedelic rock numbers like 'I'm Not a Butterfly (Written/Composed by Woongsan)', 'Who Stole The Skies' is a fusion jazz number with a modern sensibility that shows another texture.

Like the monumental 10th album, the best musicians paid tribute to their brilliant performances. Korea's leading saxophonist Lee Jeong-sik, blues guitarists Charlie Jung and Choi Woo-jun (SAZA), unrivaled organist Sung Ki-moon, bassist Shin Dong-ha, pianist Kang Jae-hoon, and drummer Lim Ju-chan's fantastic performances, composer and producer Jamie Soul, and keyboards active in New York and Boston The sound idea provided by the performer, Sang-Hyun Park, KTG, makes you feel the joy of appreciation on all tracks.

WoongSan's style is a distinctive blend of jazz, blues, Latin and funk style. Her mid-low voice does not span as much tonal ground as other famous singers, but what she lacks in range she more than makes up for in creativity and malleability. As an independent lyricist, Woong San has penned powerful ballads, cozy love numbers and everything in between. Buddhism has played a prominent role in her life, and it shines through in her songwriting: she often explores the themes of freedom, mindfulness and the beauty of change in her songs.

Woong San, the poetical voice that combines glossiness and smoky and the best vocalist who fascinates the audience with a unique soft aura. He grew up with a scholar's father and has a unique career to enter the temple from the age of 17. The legal name given during the training, "Woong San (Yuyama)", one day during hard training, I realize that myself is singing "songs" unconsciously. After that, I go down the mountain where there is a temple and start walking the way to the singer. Although the genre chosen at that time was ROCK, the record of Billy Holiday which was handed over from her friend to her who learns music curiously curiously regardless of the genre greatly changes her fate. That was the encounter of fate with JAZZ. From there, actively participate in live performances, performances, music productions, gradually earn fans. In 2004, the 1st album "Introducing Woong San" (Korean version is EMI label "Love Letters") was released simultaneously in Japan and Korea, established a firm position as "Korea's best Jazz singer", and also gained attention in Japan . When the 2nd album "Call Me" (Korean version is "The Blues") was released in Japan in 2005, fans who wish to be healed by her voice rapidly increased. In Korea I challenged the genre called Blues which no one tried, so this album was able to make a pronounation of "Blues Album" pronoun. In addition, during this period, it was a hot reaction of two albums released in both Japan and South Korea, it became the first A list artist as a Korean, and it is also the time when the place of LIVE jumped rapidly in both Japan and Korea.  In 2007, 7 of 13 songs announced 3rd album "Yesterday" (Korean version) of original (lyrics and composition) production. Record sales supporting the popularity beyond Jazz's frame, received "Korean Popular Music Awards Ceremony Jazz & Crossover Best Sound Award", "Korean Popular Music Awards Ceremony Jazz & Crossover Best Song (yesterday)".  

After that, in July 2008 I performed a nationwide tour. Participate in "Jazz Super Express Project Band" together with popular Japanese musician, TOKU, Kosuke Onuma, perform performances in Japan and other countries including Blue Note and Billboard Live, the possibilities spread more and make the tour a great success . In December 2008, "Feel Like Making Love" (Korean version is "Fall in Love") was announced in Japan and Korea from Pony Canyon as the first major Japanese debut album. 

He steadily increased the number of fans and became a major label transfer that can be said to have won evaluation in Japan. December 2009 "Close Your Eyes" released. Swing journal selection ?gold disc? It is chosen as the 43rd phase of the eighth period. Started activities in Japan since 1998, over 500 performances and tours nationwide four times a year, what she has sought worldwide. It is "human intact freedom". I want you to touch music that is full of her strong feelings and affection. Translate by Google http://woongsan.ponycanyon.co.jp/&prev=search
