Sun-Mi Hong Trio
Netherlands based Edition Records artist Sun-Mi Hong is one of the rising stars on the European jazz scene. With a signature of rooted groove in combination with well- tempered outbursts, Sun-Mi has placed herself strongly in the Dutch jazz scene. By approaching the moment in a somewhat meditative fashion, she achieves the ability to bring something entirely original to the band stand. Her last album ‘A Self-Strewn Portrait’ (ZenneZ Records) has won the prize of the Edison Award 2021 in National category. She is the winner of the Dutch Jazz Competition 2018 and the 2nd Prize of the Getxo International Jazz Competition 2017 (Sun-Mi Hong Quintet), She released a new album with her quintet on Edition Records. For her Sligo debut as a bandleader, Sun-Mi teams up with two of the UK’s finest: ace London bassist Oli Hayhurst and virtuoso guitarist Tom Ollendorff.
