Re: [-empyre-] Hi from Seoul.

Hi,

Seoul isn't interested in jazz -- unless you consider Kenny G as jazz.

For our money, Korean musical genius is in "pansori" and "pungtchak." Their
sounds, unique and unmistakable, invite improvisation and soulfulness on
famous standards such as "Arirang."

Young-hae and Marc
