Sun-Mi Hong Quintet at Jazzdor Au Fossé Des Treize

Korean drummer Sun-Mi Hong is a rising star as well as a refined and demanding composer, and has been involved in all the adventures of the new Dutch jazz scene since moving to Amsterdam over ten years ago. The drummer has turned her constantly evolving music into a space for metabolizing her multiple encounters and the matrix of a hybrid beauty, radically singular and visionary. At the head of her quintet, born in 2017, a small laboratory for her universalist utopias, she invents a generous and powerfully energetic music, inventively articulating real work on form with an unshakeable faith in the emancipating virtues of improvisation. At once lyrical, sophisticated and impulsive, Sun-Mi Hong's jazz is just like her: bursting with life....

Korean drummer Sun-Mi Hong is a rising star as well as a refined and demanding composer, and has been involved in all the adventures of the new Dutch jazz scene since moving to Amsterdam over ten years ago. The drummer has turned her constantly evolving music into a space for metabolizing her multiple encounters and the matrix of a hybrid beauty, radically singular and visionary. At the head of her quintet, born in 2017, a small laboratory for her universalist utopias, she invents a generous and powerfully energetic music, inventively articulating real work on form with an unshakeable faith in the emancipating virtues of improvisation. At once lyrical, sophisticated and impulsive, Sun-Mi Hong's jazz is just like her: bursting with life.

Étoile montante de la batterie mais aussi compositrice raffinée et exigeante, la Coréenne Sun-Mi Hong est de toutes les aventures de la nouvelle scène jazz batave depuis qu’elle s’est installée à Amsterdam voilà plus de dix ans. La batteuse a fait de sa musique en évolution permanente l’espace de métabolisation de ses multiples rencontres et la matrice d’une beauté hybride, radicalement singulière et visionnaire. À la tête de son quintet né en 2017, petit laboratoire de ses utopies universalistes, elle invente une musique généreuse et puissamment énergétique, articulant de façon inventive un vrai travail sur la forme avec une foi inébranlable dans les vertus émancipatrices de l’improvisation. À la fois lyrique, sophistiqué et pulsionnel, le jazz de Sun-Mi Hong est à son image : débordant de vie.
