FRI 8 & 9:30 - Yuhan Su w/Luke Stewart, Kweku Sumbry
About This Event
Vibraphonist-composer Yuhan Su leads a small-group set at Bar Bayeux with bassist Luke Stewart and drummer Kweku Sumbry. Su’s practice—shaped by studies at Berklee and a trajectory between jazz language and freer improvisation—favors precision and open space; she has worked in the same open-form idiom at Bar Bayeux with collaborators such as Mark Whitfield Jr., whose responsive, transition-focused drumming complements that approach.

Yuhan Su is a New York City–based jazz vibraphonist and composer with roots in Gongguan, Miaoli, Taiwan, and formative years in Taipei. She came to the United States in 2008 to study at Berklee College of Music, then built a practice that moves between jazz language and freer improvisation.
Mark Whitfield Jr.
Mark Whitfield Jr. is a New York–based jazz drummer heard in both straight-ahead and free improvising settings. At Bar Bayeux, he appears alongside vibraphonist-composer Yuhan Su and bassist Luke Stewart, working in the small-group, open-form language that ties the city’s club circuit to its experimental scene.
