Helen Sung s Concord Jazz debut is a ten-song set that positions her at the forefront of a talented and diverse sextet, with guest appearances by violinist Regina Carter and clarinetist Paquito D Rivera. An award-winning pianist/composer, Sung is blazing her own path. A Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance graduate, the Houston native went on to win the Kennedy Center's Mary Lou Williams Jazz Piano Competition and has released six albums overall. In addition to leading her own band, Sung currently appears with the Mingus Big Band, T.S. Monk and Terri Lyne Carrington s Grammy-winning Mosaic Project, among others.
