CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: DASEUL KIM AT THE METROPOLITAN ROOM
Jazz bassist Daseul Kim will perform at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Wednesday, September 18th at 9:30 pm. Born in South Korea 1986, Daseul Kim's musical journey started thousands of miles away from his current New Jersey home. Already a well respected musician in his homeland, it was the call of jazz that led Daseul to the United States, where his is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most promising young bassists on the New York scene. Exposed early on to traditional Korean music, Daseul quickly gained attention when he was awarded the grand prize in Korea's National Students Piano Contest at the tender age of six. However, it was not until his third year of high school, when he started to play bass guitar in the school's band, that he knew he wanted to be a musician. The same talent that gained him national attention as a pianist was then poured into learning the art of the bass. He also began listening to jazz. So, after he fulfilled his mandatory military duty, he entered William Paterson University in 2010, where he currently studies with legendary jazz musicians like Mulgrew Miller, Steve Laspina, Rufus Reid, Marcus McLaurine, James Wiedman, Harold Mabern, and Horace Arnold, among others. He has also shared the stage or opened for other greats like Mulgrew Miller, Kenny Barron, Nancy Morano, and the George Gee Jazz Orchestra. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
