Korean Jazz Pianist Hey Rim Jeon
Hey Rim Jeon is a classically trained pianist, but after hearing an Oscar Peterson recording, she got hooked on jazz.
She tells Marco Werman she loves to play by ear, loves to improvise and that led her to discover jazz.
Hey Rim Jeon performs live from WGBH’s Fraser performance studio:
