New issue January 1, 2021 on article from recent "JazzLife" magazine, Tokyo Japan. A fabulous review from Kazune Hayata on my debut album “Yes, it is Introducing Win Pongsakorn”
Translate In English:
As soon as I started the CD, a glossy and clear trumpet pops out, and my spirits soar. This is the first album by Win Pongsakorn, an up-and-coming trumpeter born in Bangkok in 1991. He studied under trumpet master Jim Rotondi at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz in Austria, and after performing with Randy Brecker, Sheila Jordan, and many other artists, his debut album is full of youthfulness and the aromatic scent of mainstream jazz. The original compositions with a touch of Cedar Walton are also a joy to listen to.
