The next single of 2025 is now available on all music platforms! It’s a jazz solo piano cover for electric chill-out music by Chris Bush (Computer Nerd). I premiered this jazz piece at Steinway Hall NYC back in March. It always brings me the joy of spring/summer every time when I listen to it, I hope you'll love it as I do.
Very happy to announce my new single "In the Rain" is now available on all music platforms. Re-imagine the jazz standard in the rain, with the touch of French Impressionism. I hope you would enjoy it, thanks for your love and always support.
Happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Adjunct Professor of Piano at University of Massachusetts Lowell! Looking forward to working with amazing music faculty and talented students at UMass!
Excited to announce my next studio album “DUSK”
It’s a classical piano album featuring works by Dutilleux, Bach, Liszt, Beethoven, and Scriabin. This is me 10+ years ago before jazz, every composition is interpreted in the classical way but with a jazz heart in the ears because jazz taught me another side of beauty in classical music.
DUSK is available now on all music platforms worldwide, please give it a listen on your favorite online music service (yes we live in the digital world)!
So excited to announce that my debut jazz trio album "Before Dawn" will be released on March 9th 2018 worldwide. All Kickstarter backers will receive the digital version along with other rewards starting next week before the official release date; the signed CD will arrive later due to manufacturing and shipping process. Thank you for all your support, and please stay tune for the latest updates!
The past 33 days had been an amazing adventure for me. Thanks so much to 76 backers around the world including Taiwan, United States, Canada, Malaysia, Australia, France, Indonesia, and South Korea who shared your love and trust. The Kickstarter campaign was successfully funded! It is wonderful being connected to so many people and I really learned a lot! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this project or helped spreading the words on FB and any other platforms. This jazz album will come to life because of YOU!
Dear friends, I just launched a fundraiser campaign on Kickstarter for the post-production of my upcoming jazz debut album. The primary remaining expenses include: mastering, artwork/design, photography, manufacturing, distribution, licensing, and promotion.
Kickstarter - Francis Hon "Before Dawn" Jazz Debut Album
All music is recorded and mixed earlier this year. I was fortunate to bring together an incredible cast of musicians to create this album, featuring Billy Drummond who is one of the greatest jazz drummer in the scene, and the amazing Korean bassist Jeong Hwan Park .
If this campaign successfully reaches the $5,000 goal, all backers will receive different rewards according to the amount they pledge. This includes digital download, signed CD, lead sheets, behind the scene video, ticket for album release concert, private lesson, arrangement, composition, and private concert. Please visit the campaign page below for more details!
As you may know, Kickstarter is all-or-nothing, so PLEASE SHARE THIS LINK of Kickstarter page, spread the words as much as you can! We truly thank you for helping us completing this wonderful project!
I'm so glad to announce that the new version of my website is finally here! A completely new design and there are a lot of contents being added, plus an upcoming debut solo album of my jazz trio later in this Fall.
