Pianist/composer Connie Han has been described by Downbeat magazine as possessing “skills as a bop player of fearsome ability, a supple balladeer, and a groove merchant par excellence.” Jazziz magazine predicts her latest album Iron Starlet will “confirm her as one of the brightest young stars in jazz.” With this acclaim, Connie Han continues her stratospheric ascent as a major force in the jazz world.

When discussing her new album, the 24-year-old doesn’t shy away from using the word “tradition,” showing confidence that she’s not a throwback, but a fresh voice in the jazz piano idiom.
