Lee Jin-ah and Yoon Seok-cheol trio entered the world-renowned jazz holy site Tokyo Blue Note through this performance. They reflected on their meaning by performing on a stage where jazz masters such as Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Chic Korea, and D'Angelo performed earlier.
First, Lee Jin-ah selected 'Candy Pianist' as the opening song and awakened the audience's mind from the beginning with a beautiful tone and melody. Representative songs such as 'Staircase', 'City Lights' and 'Yum Yum Yum' were also performed to meet Lee Jin-ah's warm music world. As it is a performance held in Japan, Lee Jin-ah sang 'Always (いつも何度でも)', the main title of the popular local animation 'Sen and Chihiro's Missing' and received great response from the audience.
Yoon Seok-cheol trio met with the audience with original songs that fully utilized the charm of jazz, which fluctuated freely like waves. Following 'Love Is A Song', '2004 Seoul', 'Dialogue', etc., the Yoon Seok-cheol trio chose the title song 'You and I were watching the same thing' as the ending song. It drew attention by portraying the dream of a relationship between lovers with a calm yet tense melody.
Both Lee Jin-ah and Yoon Seok-cheol trio gave some variations to the setlist composition of the Tokyo and Osaka performances, doubling the joy of listening. In particular, Lee Jin-ah and Yoon Seok-cheol collaborated together on the encore stage through 'Like Someone In Love', one of the jazz standard songs, providing the essence of 'K-Jazz' that combines modern sensibilities with rich jazz melodies.
After the performance, Lee Jin-ah said through her agency, "It was my first performance in Japan, so it was more meaningful and happy. I was happy to meet the local fans and thank you for listening to the musicThe Yoon Seok-cheol trio said "It is both nerve-racking and exciting to have a music conversation with the audience in Taji.
