Presentation of the group
Suh Soo Jin Quartet is a group born from the project of composer and drummer Suh Soo Jin, in fervent activity since the launch of the first album "Strange Liberation" in 2018.
The absence of harmonic instruments in the group highlights the qualities that characterize their musical style characterized by free and extended sounds. Furthermore, the sounds of the various instruments are closely linked to each other both horizontally and vertically, so that the freedom of execution of the musicians is not transmitted in mere noise, but gives the force that feeds the organic movements.
