Career
He was raised in Canada and the United States, and has since lived and worked in countries ranging from Italy to Iceland. A recurring theme in his solo work is the "NADE", the meaning of which Kang is not willing to disclose. Referring titles include "Theme from the first NADE", "5th NADE/Invisible Manitoba", "Theme from the sixth NADE" (all three from the debut album 7 NADEs, 1996).
"Jewel of the NADE", "Mystic NADE" (both from Theater of Mineral NADEs, 1998) and "Harbour of the NADE" (Virginal Company-ordinates, 2003).
His preferred instrument is the viola. In 2014 Kang visited Vossajazz in western Norway, for a gig with Bill Frisell"s trio Beautiful Dreamers, including with drummer Rudy Royston, for the opening consert.
During the consert Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen joined in for a tune.
