Helen Sung Quintet
An award-winning classical pianist before she discovered jazz, Helen Sung is one of the true rising starts on the jazz scene. She was included by Wynton Marsalis in his list “Who’s Got Next: Jazz Musicians to Watch, ” and she was been in great demand working with artists like Clark Terry, Ron Carter, Steve Turre, and Wayne Shorter among others. Originally from Houston, Helen is a graduate of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance and a past winner of the Kennedy Center’s Mary Lou Williams Jazz Piano Competition. Her most recent release, Anthem For A New Day, is a breakthrough record showcasing her swinging style and funky intellect while seamlessly integrating her jazz and classical backgrounds.
