Jonathan Paik presents "Catch me weeping in reverent awe", a collection of compositions that call on the power of hymns, sanjo, footwork, the blues, free jazz, musique concrète, and internet algorithms in an attempt to answer the question of how to deal with evil and complexity and compromise alongside the people and things you love.
Jonathan Paik is a Brooklyn-based pianist, keyboardist, and improvisor/composer. He is the founder and leader of the firespitting quartet FUGITIVE, one-half of electronic duo BUSBOY, and a regular member of Alfredo Colon's quintet, Victor Solano's SUNDATE, and Jahnvi Madan's quartet. His playing has also been heard with the likes of David Binney, Joe Morris, Charles Altura, and Charles Downs. He plays to honor his lineages, both his Korean American heritage and the great tradition of Black American piano masters, and to unconditionally lift up the music and people around him.
