The past few weekends I have been able to get to quite a few great live jazz shows. Hongdae (an area of Seoul with lots of clubs and bars) has three places that Kevin introduced me to. Great music, and great atmospheres. My favorite place is called Moon Glow. We are pretty sure it is owned by a man named Shin Kwan Woong, who is a well-known pianist in Korea. He is always on the piano, and it appears that the band changes from show to show.

I had been meaning to take my camera and get some shots for quite some time now, but didn’t because of rain or the prospect of drinking (ironically the one time I did bring my camera, yesterday, I drank the most).
Last night Chip, Janis, and I went to Moon Glow to catch the show. Every time I have gone Mr. Shin has put on a great performance, and of course there were no exceptions last night. What was even better is I got to talk with him during and after the show- although it was mostly through Janis translating.
