Details:
Pianist Helen Sung is establishing herself as a remarkable young artist. Her playing has been called "marvelously imaginative," "astonishing"; and ''Helenistique'' (her 2nd CD on Fresh Sound Records) is sure to build on the success of her debut CD ''PUSH'' (2003).

A graduate of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance at New England Conservatory, Sung studied with the jazz greats - Ron Carter, Clark Terry, Barry Harris, Kenny Barron, Jon Faddis, Jimmy Heath, Jackie McLean...to name a few!

Presently based in New York City, Helen maintains a busy schedule of performing, touring, and recording, and has worked with such jazz luminaries as Clark Terry, Regina Carter, Steve Turre, and legendary saxophonist/composer Wayne Shorter.

"Helenistique" finds her in the timeless jazz piano trio setting, and the selections are mostly jazz standards (except for the cheeky original H*Town), but that''s just the beginning of the story! Sung writes in the liner notes:

"I''ve always wanted to record a CD of jazz standards - I enjoy the challenge of making a standard "mine" and here are
some of my favorites...now it is a joy to share it with you - we hope you enjoy our story, we hope you enjoy our song."

Join Helen, the great drummer Lewis Nash, and young phenom bassist Derrick Hodge as they perform "refreshingly original" takes on some of jazz''s most beloved songs - Rodgers & Hart''s "Lover" and "Where or When"; Ann Ronell''s "Willow Weep for Me"; Duke Ellington''s "Cottontail"; and many more.
