26th Daejeon International Music Festival, KBS Special Concert: Happy Jazz Concert

About this show

**Happy Jazz Concert — Berklee Super Band** The Berklee Super Band brings together alumni and faculty from Berklee College of Music, one of the world's leading music institutions, for a special night of jazz that blends tradition, contemporary sensibility, and international musical exchange. The evening opens with the **Daejeon Berklee Alumni Jazz Band**, a group of Berklee graduates performing a diverse repertoire spanning jazz, Latin, and fusion music. Joining them is **The Ray**, an R&B artist and popular TV personality, who bridges the worlds of jazz and mainstream pop in a one-of-a-kind performance. The second half features the **International Jazz Ensemble**, led by renowned American saxophonist **Chris Cheek** and Berklee professor and trumpeter **Philip Grenadier**, alongside Korea's top jazz musicians. Their deep musical dialogue and spontaneous improvisation capture the very essence of jazz and the spirit of cross-cultural exchange. More than just a concert, this performance connects the world through music — bridging cultures, generations, and borders under the shared legacy of Berklee College of Music. --- **Program** - Summer Samba — Marcos Valle & Paulo Sérgio Valle - Klactoveesedstene — W.
