Eden and Sortinos presents:
“Seoul Lounge By Night” @ Villa Sortinos, Itaewon
Saturday 23rd February 2008
A night dedicated to the kind of selectively soulful grooves that one might find sprinkled through jazz, down-tempo, latin or bossa influenced lounge styles. Limited by nothing, Karen Jones comes with the release of her CD, accompanied by some of Seoul’s blue-chip musicians. Lisette St.Louis opens for the band with all original material and Brenda takes the mic for some early night spoken wordisms.
Beats in the Cantina offer you an alternative to the more chill setting of the main room with Eden’s lady DJ’s providing you with enough range and selection to keep you moving all night.
* Venus (liquid drum&bass/downtempo)
* Baya (disco/deep house)
* Analog (minimal/techno)

Karen Jones BIO:
Who is Karen Jones? She is a being of infinite talents. She has been placed in so many musical categories it’s hard to know which one truly defines her. Its no surprise that “Eclectic” is her Modus Operandi.
Indeed, as a powerhouse singer, Karen’s vocal styles range from Jazz to Rock to Italian ballads. Like her singing, her musical compositions flow like ballads to a musical soundtrack or groove like an earthy Brazilian bossa or move you like a bouncin’ Latin Jazz groove. There are no limits to her talents and abilities.
Childhood was rich with music for Karen Jones. Daughter of the most famous swing bassist of our time, Eddie Jones, Karen grew up in the Jazz world in Brooklyn, NY. Her father played with the Count Basie Orchestra for over 10 years. He also loved classical music and played with the Village Light Opera Group at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. Karen absorbed it all.
Today Karen is internationally respected. She began her professional career in Europe – specifically Italy, where she created her career from the ground up. While Karen created a name for herself, she maintained an avid interest in spiritual research. This search would turn out to be the basis for lyrical and life choices she would make later on in her career.
Performing in piano bars in Rome, Karen launched her career. She eventually met all the right people and found herself performing in her first Jazz festival and participating on her first album. She toured that first summer with the famous Italian entertainer, Renzo Arbore, and sang in front of 100,000 people! Shortly after that she recorded a soundtrack for an international film, for which she also wrote the lyrics. Karen’s recording career has since been blessed with over 50 dance singles and 4 albums. As Karen’s vast array of performance venues has grown, so has her seasoned, unique sound. The ability to sing in other languages has also added to her vast repertoire, which of course has been developed over the years to tantalize her audiences throughout the world. Karen’s professionalism follows her wherever she goes and her reputation precedes her.
“She delivers a powerful and sexy, yet intimate performance. Feels like she is singing just for you” – Christopher
