The Sun-Mi Hong Quintet is a rising star in the European scene of improvised and contemporary jazz music. The Quintet balances on the border of an extensive composition and the large void that is improvised music. Influenced by compositions and orchestras such as the ICP Orchestra, Ambrose Akinmusire and Maurice Ravel, the band feels like a sparkling wave; it envelops your senses, causing your imagination to drift. Band leader Sun-Mi Hong is considered to be one of the most exciting drummers at the moment. After tours with the Karel Boehlee Trio, Benjamin Herman and Daahoud Salim Quintet, it is now time to make a name for herself with her own quintet.
