Houston pianist Helen Sung has a résumé to envy: attending her town’s famed Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, UT-Austin (where she got hooked on jazz), and the Thelonious Monk Institute; winning the Mary Lou Williams Jazz Piano Competition and a Guggenheim Fellowship; gigs with Wynton Marsalis, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Cecile McLorin Salvant, and the Mingus Big Band. Her Monks debut encompasses two shows: one with her Space City Trio (bassist David Craig and drummer Cory Cox) and one with her H-Town Boogie Quartet (Craig, Cox, and saxophonist Shelley Carroll) – two chances to see what the (deserved) fuss is about.
