Connie Han combines two qualities not usually found in jazz pianists: monster instrumental chops and an unapologetic willingness to use her sex appeal to draw attention.
The 27-year-old Los Angeles native has emphasized this in recent interviews, with such statements as “I think jazz needs more provocative personality, and it needs more sex” and “Jazz used to be really cool! I add some sexy to it. I flaunt what I’ve got.”
Han has three albums on Mack Avenue Records to her credit. Each showcases her impressive technical prowess and facility with the post-bop traditions that have inspired her work, although some of her song titles — such as “Boy Toy” and “Mr. Dominator” — may raise eyebrows in more staid jazz circles. It’s too soon to determine if Han’s music and image will help her connect with a broad audience in — and beyond — jazz. But the makeup of the audience next week at her San Diego debut concert may provide some clues.artpower.ucsd.edu/event/connie-han-trio/You will be hard pressed to find a more animated musical setting to celebrate Cinco de Mayo here than at Ozomatli’s performance this weekend.
