Koean Music Awards Nomination
// Best Jazz Performance of the Year
”JTO has put together a sensational record that not only revitalizes both big band and fusion but also spawns something entirely new...absolutely slay. Incredible.”
★★★★★ Music-News.com / UK
“Choi's Tiny Orkester leaves no doubt that it is a topnotch player...He is a talented composer / arranger who certainly bears watching”
★★★★★ All About Jazz / US
"These ensembles broaden horizon of jazz expression. JTO can't help sounding conservative. While Choi's writing for his Korean band is far from precdictable, he achives a big band sound with a 10 piece unit.
JAZZIZ / US
It should certainly be considered for best jazz orchestra… & I can’t emphasize it strongly enough – this IS the NEW JAZZ!
★★★★★ Contemporary Fusion Reviews / US

In whatever direction jazz might develop, I am ready to welcome the new jazz, bye-bye jazz era!
Our music is meant to free jazz from jazz, without any labels.
Twelve first-class Korean jazz musicians have come together under the name of Jungsu Choi Tiny Orkester. Their European debut album Tschüss Jazz Era was released on Challenge Records, followed by a stage debut at BIMHUIS Amsterdam in 2018.
JTO is a big jazz ensemble consisting of five horns, cello, male voice, a four-piece rhythm section and composers with a unique, contemporary jazz interpretation and modern, original compositions.
Jungsu Choi has put together a great contemporary jazz ensemble with Korea’s best jazz musicians: Jinho Pyo (voice), Eunmi Kim (flute), Yusun Nam (alto saxophone), Hachul Song (tenor saxophone), Yejung Kim (trumpet), Junyeon Lee (trombone). They show an incredible performance, transporting Jungsu’s exceptionally demanding music with skill and creative solo performances.
The compact big band Jungsu Choi Tiny Orkester shows well how modern, orchestral jazz can interpret old jazz standards in a unique fashion.

"A big surprise will be the 12-man orchestra of the South Korean Jungsu Choi, with a kind of turbo-mix of jazz tradition, idiotic arrangements , hip grooves andelectronics."
Jazzenzo / Netherlands
Daniel Schnyder, Dmitri Tymoczko and a few others have done this in their jazz-classical hybrids, and this is what Jungsu Choi has done here.This is not just a good disc.
This is a stupendous disc.
Art Music Lounge / US
I’m telling you right now folks – this CD is a WINNER… in fact, I predict that it will be recommended for (and WIN) several awards – it should certainly be considered for best jazz orchestra… & I can’t emphasize it strongly enough – this IS the NEW JAZZ!....

Jungsu Choi Tiny Orkester is a terrific large ensemble and with Choi’s creative leadership, compositional and arranging skills has produced this exceptional recording.
Jazz & Blues report / US
The arrangements are incredibly direct, almost strident at times, with a different approach to what one would normally expect from European or American musicians....Overall it was quite a surprising album
