Music | South Korean jazz duo to play at CCM

The Macau Cultural Centre has
announced that “Winterplay”, a South Korean pop-jazz band, will perform on its grand auditorium stage on December 12. The Korean duo, consisting of trumpeter-songwriter Juhan Lee and vocalist Haewon, released their debut album “Choco Snowball” in 2008, which promptly soared to the top of the Korean and Japanese jazz charts.
“Winterplay” covers a wide range of tunes – from the band’s original compositions and arrangements, to refreshing covers of songs from well-known and acclaimed artists such as Michael Jackson and Sting. The band’s style can be described as mellow; their music imbues soft, easy-listening tunes with fused elements of pop, jazz, latin and lounge.
The group’s regional breakthrough took them overseas and all the way to London, where The Sunday Times hailed the group’s music as having “demolished the separation between jazz, pop and lounge.”
Their latest album, entitled “Two Fabulous Fools,” was released in Korea in July 2013. It was subsequently released in Macau, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia in October 2013.
Tickets for the show will be available from October 11.
