Etelä-Koreassa syntynyt ja Amsterdamissa vaikuttava rumpali ja säveltäjä Sun-Mi Hong on yksi sukupolvensa omaperäisimmistä jazzmuusikoista. Hänen musiikissaan kohtaavat tarkkaan sävelletyt rakenteet ja improvisaation vapaus, perinteet ja uudet äänimaailmat. Hongin tuore albumi Fourth Page: Meaning of a Nest (Edition Records, 2025) on syvällinen matka juurien, yhteisön ja kodin merkityksiin – tarina, jossa jazzin energia ja meditatiivinen herkkyys sulautuvat yhteen. North Sea Jazz Festivalin Paul Acket Award -palkinnolla 2025 huomioitu taiteilija tunnetaan vaikuttavasta rytmitajustaan ja visionäärisestä sävelkielestään.Sun-Mi Hong – rummutChaerin Im – pianoAlessandro Fongaro – kontrabassoNicolò Ricci – tenorisaksofoniAlistair Payne – trumpetti
