'Tschuss Jazz Era' is the new album from Tiny Orkester of pieces composed and arranged by Jungsu Choi.
"…Over the space of three years it took to compose and arrange the five pieces on this album, I was never able to listen to them. Through the years, they have existed only as ink on hundreds of pages of paper. Tiny Orkester's awesome musicians made it possible for the notes (they were not yet music) that existed only as ink on paper to be re-created as real music! I had only sketched out half of the picture, and my awesome musicians beautifully coloured in the other half. This is why it is not my music, but OUR music. From start to finish, writing music is a process of making one choice after another. Such choices may come from something inherent; mine were inside me for a long time, put there by something I saw, heard or read, which could even be someone's music, words, or life. This music has been affected, inspired and motivated by the following, and may be considered a homage to Nicolas Slonimsky, Mathias Ruegg, Carl Sagan, Mr. Yellow (the 16th President of Korea), Ludwig Wittgenstein, Fred Sturm, Michael Gibbs, Duke Ellington, my insomnia, Night sky in Byul-Nae and Yeonsun Choi." -Jungsu Choi
