Zen jazz monk returns to the music. Six years after leaving a career as an internationally celebrated jazz pianist for the life of an ordained Buddhist monk, Koun Vincent has announced a return to the keyboard and the national stage with a new Australian tour.
It’s a re-emergence that jazz fans of Vincent’s have been waiting for. Vincent began giving house concerts of the great composers to small audiences a couple of years ago. The music was so revelatory, and the reception so intense, that Vincent is now ready to take his new clear view of jazz nationwide in a series of solo shows.
Prior to his career pause, Vincent enjoyed an extensive career spanning 30 years. As a jazz pianist and bandleader he performed and recorded in Australia, Europe, Japan and USA alongside artists such as Branford Marsalis and Don Burrows and released eight albums.
