Synopsis

[Concert Introduction] As a jazz record label, Blue Note holds immense symbolic significance for jazz enthusiasts, not only in terms of popular appeal but also in terms of artistic achievement. Paul Cornish, a rising pianist ambitiously recruited by Blue Note, is currently active in the band of American modern saxophone virtuoso Joshua Redman, and his debut album was released by Blue Note in 2025. Numerous media outlets have praised his debut album, *You're Exaggerating!*, noting that Blue Note has once again demonstrated its discerning eye in discovering new artists with fresh ideas. The Financial Times evaluated the collaboration between Blue Note and Paul Cornish under the headline, "Blue Note strikes again." During an interview following his visit to Korea in 2025, Don Wirth, the head of Blue Note, referred to him as a "very profound next-generation musician" whom jazz listeners should pay new attention to. From classical bebop reminiscent of bebop masters Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk to post-bop creative jazz continuing the lineage of modern pianists such as Jason Moran and Robert Glasper, Paul Cornish's solo piano concert will be a special performance where you can experience the essence of 21st-century modern jazz pianism through a lyrical yet powerful sound, adding his own unique colors to the great legacy of Blue Note.
