Sun-Mi Hong is a jazz drummer and composer. She was born and raised in Incheon, South Korea, but moved to Amsterdam in 2012 to study music.

Dice de él el pianista Vijay Iyer que es "revolucionario". Cuando lo escuchó sintió que en su saxofón florecía "una profusión milagrosa de violetas". Y ahora tres compañeros suyos, los pianistas Kris Davis, Tyshawn Sorey y Craig Taborn se enfrentan al reto que les plantea en "Facets". En su nuevo trabajo, el saxofonista Hafez Modirzadeh reafina ocho notas del piano para luchar contra la "hegemonía cromática" y reivindicar otras afinaciones no occidentales. Es un duelo por la muerte de su padre pero también por las de otros, como Breonna Taylor, la joven afroamericana asesinada a balazos por la policía el año pasado en Louisville. La cantante Jen Shyu presenta "Zero grasses: Ritual for the losses", un trabajo junto a Ambrose Akinmusire (trompeta), Mat Maneri (viola), Thomas Morgan (contrabajo) y Dan Weiss (batería). La combinación es inusual: tenora y piano. Jordi Molina, intérprete de este instrumento tradicional de la cultura catalana, a dúo con el pianista Joan Díaz en "Immersió", un proyecto que nos presenta Ferran Esteve en "La duda y el permanente". El disco está publicado en el sello Seed Music, el mismo que acogió en 2018 "Les set fulles del faig", trabajo a dúo de los pianistas Carles Marigó y Marco Mezquida inspirado por la poesía de Josep Carner.

What are IVF and IUI? Assisted reproductive technology is a common reality for many who are trying to conceive, though it’s rarely talked about in public, or even among one’s closest confidants. In this episode, we talk with Valérie and Jen about each step of their journeys with IUI and IVF, what to expect from the process, and how to keep self-care at the forefront when things get clinical. TAGS: IVF, IUI, Infertility, Reproductive Health, Conception, TTC, Pregnancy, Infertility Awareness, Fertility Treatment *CORRECTION* Valérie was 39 at the time of her egg retrieval, three month shy of turning 40. Jen mentioned "timed pregnancy" but meant "timed intercourse" describing her current method of trying to conceive. We sure hopes it results in pregnancy for her!

This week we focus on the contribution of musicians that approached jazz and improvised music benefiting from the wider perspective afforded to them by the exposure to not only American culture but also the traditions of the places of origin of their families, which hailed from Asian countries like China, India, Iraq, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, the Philippines and Vietnam.
