Review from Jazzflits
North Sea Round Town concert, 2024
"Two pieces by Lina Lee are worth mentioning. In ‘Dragon’ her hypnotic singing sounded. The song refers to the year of the dragon, which in Korea points to the complexity and beauty of life. This was followed by a ballad dedicated to her grandmother, who lives on like a leaf in the wind. A quiet song in which elements of Eastern and Western singing were connected and which reminded me of a melody by George Gershwin. I still have one comment left about the audience. They knew very well that silence can be an essential part of music.", Roland Huguenin,

Dareyn, which means ‘two worlds’ in the Ottoman language, combines the mystical sound of the kemenche – with its heritage of traditional music originating from Istanbul and the Silk Road – with the deep-rooted sound of the voice and piano in a contemporary fashion.
Echoes of the Silk Road is a dynamic musical collaboration that brings together the talents of three female artists from South Korea and Turkey.
Through a fusion of Korean, Turkish, Western Classical, and jazz music, the ensemble creates a captivating blend of diverse musical traditions. By drawing inspiration from the rich musical heritage of the Silk Road, the Dareyn Ensemble offers a contemporary interpretation that reflects the cultural exchange and
artistic innovation that characterized this historic route.

LINA LEE TRIO - IN A HEARTBEAT
Glocalization Jazz
A new glocalization of oriental poetics and European jazz.
Lina Lee is a Korean poet, composer and jazz vocalist.Since ancient times, poetry has been sung. All songs were also called poetry. The same meaning goes for her. For a Korean poet, composer and jazz vocalist Lina Lee, poetry is jazz and jazz is poetry.All songs performed in this concert are her own compositions and poems. Born in Korea, she began to discover and explore the interface between European jazz in Netherlands, American traditional jazz and traditional Korean music.
She finally created a new glocalization by combining Korea's traditional oriental sensibility with restrained and elegant sounds, philosophy and attitude about music learned from traditional jazz and musical elements of European openness and exploration. In her music, you can experience how her own poetic jazz is created.She believes that the power of Korean oriental historical source, poetry that penetrates the essence, and jazz that experiences existence will combine to approach the most immutable truth of life.

May, fly
What if the loved ones die? what can I do? what can I be?
Maybe, at least, if loved ones are like falling leaves,
I can be the winds hesitating around the leaves.
I can be a mist hugging the leaves and dancing with the leaves like a Mayfly.
May-be, May-fly.
