Cross-over musician/composer Dana Leong (cello/trombone/laptop) brings his unique hip-hop meets avant-jazz sound to the Golden State in a three month-long performance tour. 

A native of the Bay area, Leong has played around the country with legendary avant-jazz saxophonist Henry Threadgill, Cuban jazz clarinetist and saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera, and drummer Dafnis Prieto, among others.  Known for collaborating with rappers, drummers, electronic keyboardists, and even dancers, critics agree that Leong has created a boundless signature sound.  “Leong’s combination of instruments and music tastes are unique, perhaps his live performance makes him stand out even more.” (InTune Monthly)
 
As bandleader of MILK & JADE by Dana Leong, Leong is joined by Hagar Ben Ari (bass), Yoni Halevy (drums), and iLLspoKinN (emcee/vocals) in a heart-pounding fusion of hip-hop, jazz improvisations and rock propulsions.  The group recently received worldwide acclaim performing sold out shows - including its CD release concert at NYC’s Symphony Space - in celebration of its self-titled debut album MILK & JADE (2010).
