Mili Hong is a Montreal-based Korean drummer who has been playing various styles of music for over a decade including jazz, pop, improvised music, rock, and folk. Her ability to adapt sensitively to music, with a wide range of dynamics, allows her to express a wide range of emotions and be connected more deeply with the bands she collaborates with.

Her standards trio, consisting of David Blake on guitar and Eli Davidovici on bass, focuses on an array of classic Jazz compositions and songs from the American songbook. Expect an evening of spontaneity and unexpected takes on the songs that Jazz fans and practitioners of the tradition will know well, with a nod to composers that have a special influence on the band, including Thelonius Monk, Duke Ellington, and Cole Porter.
