Alfred played at our fundraiser last night and was the talk of the evening. If you need a pianist Alfred is hands down the best choice. He was kind and worked with me to make the event phenomenal. Thank you Alfred! Everyone loved you!

Thank you Candace! I had a great time playing for you guys!
Alfred was wonderful to work with. On very short notice he was able to work with our needs. We wanted a Bollywood piano playlist. Alfred worked to adapt songs that weren’t originally written for piano. He is so talented! He was able to create his own sheet music and alter existing sheet music to better fit the songs that we wanted. Our guests were blown away! It was absolutely magical.
Alfred was the perfect choice for our cocktail hour. Definitely would recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their event.
Can’t thank him enough!

Response from Alfred Yun Jazz:
I appreciate your kind words, Mosa! I am glad you guys enjoyed the music! I was happy to experience a wonderful culture, and congratulations on your wedding again! Hopefully, I was able to contribute a little bit to such an occasion!
Mr. Yun was a fantastic hit. The event was extremely important to me because it was for my daughter. Mr. Yun not only played skillfully but tailored the songs to fit the occasion wonderfully well. My daughter admitted actually crying on one of the songs he played. I will absolutely recommend Alfred for any event that is to be done with grace, poise, and remarkable professionalism. Simply great!! Thank you Mr. Yun. I promise that we will see you again.

What to Expect
Alfred Yun’s music is always exciting and groovy. A fan of his trio once said, “it’s jazz with a kind of punk rock aesthetic!” One can expect to hear Thelonious Monk, Stevie Wonder and Chick Corea in their performances. Alfred Yun brings the same passion and energy to ballads, distilling the excitement into grace and warmth, channeling great pianists like Keith Jarrett, Fred Hersch, Hank Jones, and Bill Evans.
You're able to book our duo (keys, bass/horn), trio (keys, bass, drums), quartet (horn, keys, bass, drums), quintet (voice, horn, keys, bass drums), and more!
