With roots planted firmly in his Asian heritage, technique and sensitivity honed by his schooling and experience in New York, and with a singular voice propelled by an intense desire for a more complete artistic expression, Jack Lee combines formidable technique with a penchant for gentle, flowing lyricism that makes his music eminently appealing to both musicians and non-musicians alike. Born in Seoul Korea, Jack absorbed the sounds of rock guitar heroes before discovering the jazzier sounds of Pat Metheny, Larry Coryell, and Miles Davis. At 17, he traveled to the USA to pursue his passion and later enrolled as a computer science major at Columbia University. A stint as a disc jockey at the well-known station WKCR-FM exposed him to an extraordinary breadth of jazz music. Being a student in New York allowed him to experience first hand the living legends of jazz in the city's renowned venues and also enabled him to study first-hand with such guitar luminaries as Larry Coryell, Emily Remler, and John Scofield. Jack has performed and toured all over the world with many top names in Jazz, and started making his mark in world jazz scene. Since 2014, Jack has been recording and touring extensively with Nathan East band.
