Oan Kim is a Paris based saxophonist and composer, former member of projects such as Film Noir and Chinese Army. He has announced the release of a new album called Oan Kim & The Dirty Jazz which will be out on February 25h. Writing, recording and producing the record in his home studio in Paris, the multifaceted musician and filmmaker’s DIY approach allowed the tracks to evolve freely “without ever knowing where they would take me, operating almost in a vacuum of space and time gave me a lot of freedom.”
“Pop music will never have that miraculous improvised flair of a good jazz solo, while jazz rarely has the enthralling efficacy of pop music. But who said music had to be as polarized as politics? So I wanted to bring together the best of both worlds.”
“Mambo” is the first excerpt. Check the official video below.
