    About This Event

    Dabin Ryu performs the album-release concert for Discomfort at The Jazz Gallery. An emerging artist whose work spans plays and classical performance, Ryu has appeared at venues such as ShapeShifter Lab and shared a double bill with Joe Melnicove; her formal musical and theatrical training informs a practice attentive to structure and pacing, favoring clarity over spectacle.

    About Discomfort

    At The Jazz Gallery, Dabin Ryu presents the album-release concert for *Discomfort*, a jazz set shaped by her background in theater and classical performance. Her recent NYC path runs through rooms like ShapeShifter Lab and a shared bill with Joe Melnicove, placing this project in the city’s working, cross-disciplinary scene rather than its institutions. The music treats unease as material, using structure and phrasing to test how tension is carried and released. One clear through line is how drama and composition meet without turning the bandstand into a stage.
