DTSTAMP:20260414T215039Z
DTSTART:20260511T180000Z
DESCRIPTION:An all-star NYC improv quartet with Mat Maneri\, Jacob Sacks & 
	Randy Peterson\n\nThroughout her career\, Jeong Lim Yang has consistently 
	pushed the boundaries of\nthe ensemble format\, using the double bass not 
	just as a rhythmic anchor\, but as\na driving melodic force.\n\nAlong with
	 her evolving work as a leader (beginning with her 2017 Fresh Sound\ndebut
	 Déjà Vu) which won NPR's ‘the best debut album of the year’\, native Sout
	h\nKorean bassist Jeong Lim Yang has been a prominent figure in New York c
	ity's\nmusic scene since 2011.\n\nYang’s unique interpretation\, Zodiac Su
	ite: Reassured (2022\, Fresh Sound New\nTalent)\, is a bold re-envisioning
	 of Mary Lou Williams’s brilliant 1945\nmasterpiece. Featuring a bass-upfr
	ont piano trio\, the album has received\nwidespread acclaim. The Zodiac Tr
	io has performed extensively at prestigious\nvenues\, including Lincoln Ce
	nter\, SFJAZZ\, Kuumbwa Jazz\, and the Angel City Jazz\nFestival.\n\nIn 20
	25\, Yang released a quartet album featuring her original compositions\nti
	tled Synchronicity (Sunnyside\, 2025)\, collaborating with bandmates Mat M
	aneri\,\nJacob Sacks\, and Randy Peterson. Synchronicity was defined by Ca
	rl Jung as “the\ncoming together of inner and outer events in a way that c
	annot be explained by\ncause and effect and that is meaningful to the obse
	rver”. As Yang puts it\,\n“Serendipitously\, things happen. You’re thinkin
	g of a friend you haven’t seen in\nyears\, and the friend shows up. That’s
	 how I felt with this band when we\nplayed.”\n\nJeong Lim Yang crafts inno
	vative Quartet music that seeks to establish a\nprofound connection with p
	sychologist Carl Jung's theory of "Synchronicity". Her\nmusic occupies a s
	pace thatdelicately straddles the boundaries between\ntraditional jazz idi
	oms and boundary-pushing improvisation.\n\nMat Maneri: viola\nJacob Sacks:
