For the past three nights I had the great pleasure to reconnect with my good friend and fantastic organ player Kerong Chok again and play at B28 in Singapore, also with the great guitarist Andrew Lim. 
It was a real treat on and off the Bandstand. 

We are very excited about our new album "Damon Brown meets the Resonance Trio" on 33 Records: 33jazz.com To celebrate the UK release we had a wonderful 10 day tour in England. Lots of nice music and memories were made. Check out this nice concert review by Eddie Myer from Jazzwise magazine ​http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/pages/live-jazz-music-reviews/14525-damon-brown-international-quartet-with-ed-jones-deliver-hard-bop-judgements-at-the-verdict 

Here are some shots from the Youngjoo Song Septet Concert at Baekham Art Hall in Seoul, featuring Alex Sipiagin, Jon Gordon, Kenji Omae and Alan Ferber with Hogyu Hwang on Bass and me on drums. It was a wonderful evening of music. Killing playing by all. We also did a TV concert for EBS the day before. Photos by Dayoung Lee. 

Here are some pictures of the music video shoot for the song 'Dream' with korean pop stars Suzy and Baekhyeon.  It was a lot of fun. Below you can also watch the finished video on YouTube. 

We shot the video back in November, but I had to wait to post the pictures until the video was officially released in January 2016.

Manuel Weyand
Es wird kein südkoreanischer Jazz Musiker zu Gast im ABS sein. Seoul ist jedoch die Wahlheimat des deutschen Schlagzeugers Manuel Weyand, der als Professor für Drum Set am Paekche Institute of the Arts in Seoul unterrichtet.
Manuel Weyand ist in der Stadt. Den Bachlors und Masters Degree in Jazz Performance hat Manuel Weyand in New York City absolviert, in 2008 ist er Finalist der International Generations Jazz Competition, San Francisco, nimmt in 2010 am renommiertem Betty Carter Jazz Workshop in Washington D.C. teil und ist, kurz vor Aufnahme seiner Professur in Südkorea, Gewinner der Generations Jazz Competition in Zürich 2012.  
Neben dem Auftritt im ABS, spielt Manuel Weyand im Rahmen von Jazz-O- Rama(facebook link) im Artheater am Dienstag dem 13. Januar, 21:30 Uhr, ein "Kleines Gipfeltreffen von Jazz-Weltreisenden”, bevor er sich ab 18. Januar hierzulande mit der amerikanische Sängerin Natalie John (homepage der Sängerin) auf deren CD Release Tour begibt.
Gelegenheit mehr über die südkoreanische Jazz Szene zu erfahren gibt es während der Set Pause und nach Ende des Konzerts im ABS, wo die Musiker bekanntermaßen immer sehr nah am Publikum sind.
