Raised in South Korea, pianist-composer Jihee Heo studied in Amsterdam before receiving her Masters from the Manhattan School of Music in 2013. Now with a decade ensconced in New York's music scene, Jihee found inspiration for producing this album of alternately pastoral and grooving trio music through Robert Henry's classic treatise for artists, 'Art Spirit.' Reciting passages in the opening track, 'Are You Ready?,' the sense of offering a vision into her musical process and deep involvement with 'the moment' informs the 8 artfully melodic original compositions.
