To the worldwide range of cultures represented at the Markham Jazz Festival, Robert Lee adds Korean. The Robert Lee Group, based in Toronto, presents original compositions inspired by Korean folk stories and poetry. Bassist Robert composed many of the songs for his second album, Cha-Ran, released in August 2022. That followed a stellar educational career at the University of Guelph, Humber College and Berklee Valencia. Robert says, “I want to celebrate Korean traditional music alongside my passion for jazz and improvisation.”
