Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Montreal-based jazz vocalist Mira Choquette. We reconnect with Mira in 2025 to explore her stunning new album Hier Encore—a rich and heartfelt collaboration with acclaimed Armenian jazz pianist Samvel Gasparyan.

A gifted multilingual singer, Mira brings fresh life and global flair to timeless jazz classics, putting her own soulful spin on the music of legends like Blossom Dearie, Tadd Dameron, and Thelonious Monk. This project is a continuation of her ever-evolving career and artistic exploration, blending elegance, emotion, and cultural fusion.

After first speaking with Mira in 2023, it’s a joy to welcome her back for this deep dive into the stories behind Hier Encore and the vibrant life of a jazz artist in 2025.
