简介

This album is a collection of songs that Ronan and Jimin felt represented their musical relationship. Some songs showcase an ear for fluid improvisation, while others highlight the duo's presence in different moods and landscapes. Jimin and Ronan both contributed original material to the record and selected classic jazz standards that they felt would compliment the rest of the album tastefully. Ronan Delisle is a guitarist from Seattle, Washington. Some key run-ins with some of Seattle's most creative and talented musicians led him to want to hone his craft and study up at the University of North Texas. Since his humble beginnings at UNT, he's played in numerous bands and led many of his own projects to fruition. He has recorded two albums with his group Senor Fin, one EP with his own Slugger Music Group, and finally, "Somewhere Safe" with Jimin Lee. Ronan and Jimin began playing together in 2012. One of their first interactions was playing the first tune from their record, "Skylark". Jimin kindly agreed to join Ronan on his project playing some of Steve Swallow's beautiful compositions. Regular collaborations led up to the recording of this record in late 2013. Jimin Lee is a vocalist and composer from Seoul, Korea. After several varied and successful projects in Seoul, she came to school at UNT in 2009, which was her first time in the US. Since then, she's directed talented UNT vocal ensembles as a Teaching Assistant to the jazz vocal department, as well as led her own projects of original material. She's been an in-demand singer in the Dallas area, laying down tracks on house music projects, singing hooks on hip hop endeavors, and lending her high skill as an improviser to touring modern jazz ensembles. Her discography includes her and Ronan's album, "Somewhere Safe" and Robert Hokamp's recently released, "Jungle Team".
