Bird’s Eye, due out March 8, 2024 via Pyroclastic Records, features a pathfinding new trio with gayageum player DoYeon Kim and drummer/percussionist Lesley Mok.
“[David Leon’s] extroversion feels like a natural part of his musical personality, spiking his agile post-bop with nifty conceptual brio that never gets in the way of his desire to communicate.” – Peter Margasak, The Quietus
“[Bird’s Eye] maintained an easy and fluid connection… [Mok] effortlessly augmented Leon’s… solos and punctuated the texture without overpowering DoYeon Kim, who shredded so hard on the gayagum that she had to actually reassemble her instrument before the set was over.” – Lana Norris, I Care If You Listen
