Sun-Mi Hong Quintet

Acclaimed by DownBeat as 'strikingly original', Sun-Mi Hong redefines the boundaries of jazz with her innovative artistry and diverse musical influences. The South-Korean-born musician stands as one of the most inventive and dynamic drummers of her generation, with an extraordinary ability to straddle the intricate world of elaborate composition and the expansive realm of improvisation. Emerging in 2016 from a quest for self-expression, Hong chose the players in her quintet for their empathetic and diverse personalities including Nicolò Ricci on tenor saxophone, Alistair Payne on trumpet, Chaerin Im on piano, and Alessandro Fongaro on bass.
