Amazing evening! We heard Jun performing with Alex Dougdale a few months back at Jazz Vespers and I was impressed enough to pre-order his CD. When we heard he was playing at Seattle Jazz Fellowship, a venue we had been meaning to check out, we began looking forward to the evening, so much so that we were first in line when the doors opened! We had heard the Seattle Jazz Fellowship was small and we wanted to make sure we got in. Wow, what a charming, intimate venue for a fabulous evening with Jun and his very talented band! The second set totally blew us away. And he's genuinely nice as well - what a class act to get a hand written thank you on my invoice when I got my CD.
