We invite you to enjoy a first look into the recording sessions of the Jihye Lee Orchestra's stunning new album INFINITE CONNECTIONS, out 5.31.24. This video documents the very moments when the outstanding first single "We Are All From The Same Stream" was recorded. Motéma congratulates the award-winning Jihye Lee for her brilliance and passion.
Infinite Connections fuses traditional Korean rhythms with contemporary orchestral jazz to create a profound cross-cultural meditation on life, womanhood, and the ties that bind humanity. This first single which features solos by trombonist Alan Ferber and saxophonist Jason Rigby, is a grooving exploration of a simple but profound fact: No matter how different we might be from one another, we all share the same joy and anguish that define the human experience. Co-produced by Darcy James Argue.
"We must have all started from one. Knowing that all humans are connected is a comfort: we are not alone. As we go through hardships, we learn empathy, courage, and resilience from one another. Together, we are stronger." - Jihye Lee
