New Album out! “DIFFERENT”

Posted on by Yenne

/

My new album is finally out!

Entitled DIFFERENT, it features my arrangements of some jazz standard tunes such as Fly Me to the Moon, Blue Moon, and Summertime, in addition to the already-popular Autumn Leaves.

As a classical guitarist, I have a different approach from jazz players- hence the title “DIFFERENT.”

It is now available on major music platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.

CDs will become available soon too, and I will post about it when they do!

I will be posting videos on YouTube to match the album in the coming month.

Please listen to the album- I hope you like it!

[New Video] “For Yen” by Celil Refik Kaya
				
														

						Posted on  by Yenne					

												

			
							

					
											
						
 


 




 


This piece, “For Yen”, was written by my good friend Celil Refik Kaya. Celil is a marvelous guitarist. I first met him in 2011 at Mannes College of Music where we were Master’s students. Since I first heard him playing, I had no doubt he would become a recognized guitarist that he is now.


“For Yen” was originally formed as short improvisation Celil Refik Kaya recorded in 2011. The improvisation was written down with little changes in a character of a short melancholic prelude. Later the piece was dedicated to me (Yen is the name I use in daily life).


 


The sheet music is published by Les Productions d’OZ (Click)


Celil’s website: www.celilrefikkaya.com (Click)


iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/for-yen-single/1318617967 (Click)


Recommended website for audio purchase: https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/yennelee5 (Click)


Available on Amazon, Spotify, and other major stores as well.

For those of you who are wondering about my upcoming events:


 


I have a presentation for New York City Classical Guitar Society on December 7 at 7pm. I will be sharing tips on how to make effective arrangements and how to play them.


Visit www.nyccgs.com for more information: http://nyccgs.com/december-2017-meeting-yenne-lee/


 


 


I am again invited to teach at the New York Guitar Seminar at Mannes in 2018. I will be teaching master classes. Registration is not open yet. I will post an update once it is. It is a week-long seminar, full of master classes, ensemble rehearsals, great lectures, and concerts. I would be happy to answer questions about the seminar if you write me an email. Also visit the seminar’s website: mannesguitar.com


 


 


Other than the above, I am planning to release my second album and have album release concerts in New York City and Seoul in Spring 2018 (Could be Summer or Fall, depending on my work load). In the concerts, I will be playing selections from the first and second albums, plus a few classical pieces.


 


I am also planning to release singles every few weeks! Next one will be released within 1-2 weeks.


 


Stay tuned! Thank you!

If you haven’t received an answer email from me

If you sent me a message to my email accounts or via the contact form on this website and haven’t heard from me, I apologize, but it’s because I am getting too many messages to respond. I already spend more time on the computer than I would want to. I want to spend more time with guitar.


 


Yes, it’s a shame the Autumn Leaves is not available in your country. I will work to make it available. However, I don’t know when that will happen. Hopefully within a month.


 


Thank you for your emails of suggestions and words of support.


As for suggestion on what song/piece to play- unfortunately I already have tons of songs and pieces I want to record. The chances are I probably won’t play the song of your recommendation unless it’s actually one of the ones I was going to play. Thank you for your suggestion still!


 


Feel free to discuss with each other in the comment how to buy Autumn Leaves sheet from outside US/Canada, etc. I think some of you can help each other out.


 


Thank you for your support always.
