Galway Jazz Festival

News release for immediate release.

Press Release Friday 30th October 2009
Galway Jazz Festival 2009
Thursday 19th – Sunday 22nd November 2009
Oslo, New York, London, Rome and Berlin converge in Galway this November for the Galway Jazz Festival 2009
Trygve Seim Orchestra | Rebecca Martin & Larry Grenadier | Métier | Francesco Turrisi Trio | Polar Bear | Buckley, Stowell, Feely | Polar Bear, Julia Hülsmann Trio | Matthew Berrill’s Galway Allstars
SPECIAL FESTIVAL PASS PRICE: €80 for ALL 8 concerts!
Book online 24/7 www.tht.ie
Tel: 091-569777

There’ll be a charge in the air this November as the Galway Jazz Festival fires up the city’s musical life with four nights of glorious music making. This fifth edition might still be a boutique, but its more than doubled in size since last year, and jazz admirers will have plenty to choose from in a line up that includes artists from Norway, The US, Germany, The UK and Italy as well as the highest achievers in Irish jazz.

It opens with a gala concert in St Nicholas Church with music that might have have been tailor made for such a resonant environment, when saxophonist Trygve Seim leads a band that reads like a who’s who of Norway’s extraordinarily fertile jazz scene. Joined by luminaries like trumpeter Arve Henriksen and accordionist Frode Haltli, all performing accoustically in a ten piece orchestra that utilises rarely sighted instruments like the bass saxophone, Seim creates exquisite and haunting tone poems that evoke his mentor Jan Garbarek. Rebecca Martin’s music is more modest in scale, but no less resonant. This artfully understated singer occupies her own terrain somewhere equidistant between Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones, and this adopted New Yorker works with the cream of that city’s musicians, who are drawn to the soulful jazz sensibility evident in her songwriting. In Galway she performs with the peerless bassist Larry Grenadier, here on a brief timeout from touring with piano great Brad Mehldau.

From London comes drummer Seb Rochford and Polar Bear, named for an animal that can appear cuddly, but is equallly capable of violent flare ups. Its an apt metaphor for this Mercury nominated quintet’s indie band ethos that melds clever jazz composition with electronica mash ups and turns from delicate to abrasive in a heartbeat. For their part, Ronan Guilfoyle’s Metier are just back from London, where they shared a double bill with Polish legend Tomasz Stanko in the prestigious QEH. As with Galway’s Contempo Quartet, Metier are an ensemble in residence, in this instance Dun Laoghaire Rathdown, and with a line up that convenes five of the strongest musicians in Ireland today, this is a quintet that positively bristles with creative energy.

A brace of European pianists adorn this year’s festival. Turin born Francesco Turrisi was formerly harpsichordist with acclaimed baroque ensemble l’Arpeggiata, experience he has put to productive use in his trio, which draws inspiration from early music and Italian folk melodies. The music is imbued with the reflective aesthetic of the great German label ECM and its further evidence of the abundant creativity at work from this open minded and lyrical pianist. Julia Hulsmann has just made her ECM recording, the critically acclaimed End Of Summer, but the Bonn pianist has been a stellar figure of the German jazz scene for well over a decade, making rhythmically insistent music that is both poetic and approachable, and with the fine detail that is a hallmark of great piano trios.

Dubliner Hugh Buckley is also back at the festival, with some impressive friends in tow for an exploration of the guitar world from both jazz and classical perspectives. The former is brought by John Stowell, the American guitarist whose career spans three decades and includes historic tours to the Soviet Union with flautist Paul Horn, the latter from Ballinasloe born John Feely, Irelands premier classical guitarist. Memorable solo, duo and trio encounters are in store. Rounding off proceedings nightly is Headford saxophonist Matt Berrill, taking time out from studies in The Hague to lead a specially convened festival group that features the best of emerging Galway voices like guitarist Aengus Hackett and trumpeter Conor Cantrell.
Ending each night in true festival style, the festival club will take place in Eyre Square’s Meyrick Hotel and will feature Matthew Berrill’s Galway Jazz Allstars with guests performing live music. The Club opens in the Oyster Bar from 11pm and runs til late.
Exploring the musical spectrum from established international performers to the brightest local talent, the beat goes on at the 5th Galway Jazz Festival.

Michiel Borstlap Trio



Improvised Music Company present
Michiel Borstlap Trio
Michiel Borstlap – piano | Harry Emery – bass | Erik Kooger – drums
Saturday 14th November, 8pm
Pavilion Theatre, Marine Road, Dun Laoghaire, Co.Dublin
Admission: €22/ €20 (Concessions)
Bookings: 00353 (1) 2312929 or www.pavilion.ie

“Borstlap’s balance between accessible grooving and mysterious speculation is subtly sustained, and the improvisational surprises just keep coming.” – The Guardian
“Crystalline piano playing” - New York Times

So garlanded is Dutch pianist Michiel Borstlap, its surely an oversight that his Irish debut has been such a long time coming.

Back in ‘96, he seemed to arrive fully formed on the European music scene, winning The Thelonious Monk/BMI Composer's Award for his composition Memory of Enchantment, subsequently recorded by Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Over the next decade, he would go on to perform with similarly stellar company on the big stages of festivals like The North Sea, driving awareness of his music throughout Holland, where he enjoys a profile rare among jazz musicians, and is also a published author, Esquire columnist and film composer.

That this prodigious talent hails from Amsterdam is no great surprise given the city's history as a catalyst for creative exchange in different facets of contemporary music, and where young classical soloists learn side by side with their jazz counterparts. Its certainly reflected in his own music, which ranges from improvising small groups with drummers as diverse as the fusion of Bill Bruford and the iconoclast Han Bennink, to euphoric collaborations with deejays and funk bands, its unifying thread a rhythmic earthiness beaded with moments of delicate lyricism.

Michiel Borstlap will play the Pavilion Theatre in Dún Laoghaire on Saturday 14th November at 8pm. Tickets are available from Claddagh Records in Dublin’s Temple Bar or from Pavilion box office 01 231 2929. www.paviliontheatre.ie

Pendulum Club - JJ Smyths every Sunday night. Dublin's longest running jazz club.



Pendulum
Live jazz every Sunday night
JJ Smyth's, Aungier Street, Dublin 2
Doors: 8.00pm

*Please note that new door times are in effect from Sunday 6th September for Pendulum. *


Date: Sunday 15th November, 2009
Event: Pendulum- Laubrock/Rainey/Guilfoyle/Buckley
Info: Saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock is among the most creative spirits to emerge from London’s F-ire collective, and her career is gathering considerable momentum as word gets around about her brilliantly inventive playing and intelligent compositions that straddle free and metered idioms with real purpose and confidence. Eschewing any histrionics or grandstanding, Tom Rainey’s approach to the drums is both deeply musical and rhythmically engrossing, and he’s enjoyed a prolific output with many of NYC’s emblematic groups of the last two decades, from the early days of the downtown scene with New and Used to his current role in groups like Tim Berne’s Big Satan and the Fred Hersch Trio. They’re joined by saxophonist Michael Buckley and bassist Ronan Guilfoyle and together they’ll be a formidable unit on an evening of individual virtuosity and intense contemporary swing.

Time: Doors 8.00pm, Stage 8.30pm
Price: €12
Venue: JJ Smyth’s, 12 Aungier Street, Dublin 2

To Book: 01 670 3885

Date: Sunday 22nd November, 2009
Event: Pendulum- Maria Tecce
Info: Following recent shows at Jazz at Lincoln Center, and another triumph at the Dublin Fringe, Maria Tecce returns to
The Pendulum with her vibrant new show Viva. It’s a marriage of the music of Astor Piazzolla, Spanish ballads, Antonio Carlos Jobim, jazz standards and bossa nova with the words of Chile’s master poet Pablo Neruda, and it’s made in heaven. Her forthright, fiery style and elegant interpretation deliver a riveting performance that has won her many admirers. Providing the instrumental riposte to her spirited vocal delivery are Mike Nielsen (guitar), Francesco Turrisi (accordion/percussion), and Damian Evans (double bass).
Time: Doors 8.00pm, Stage 8.30pm
Price: €10
Venue: JJ Smyth’s, 12 Aungier Street, Dublin 2

Event: Pendulum- Alex Mathias Quartet
Info: Vigilant observers of the Irish jazz scene will not have overlooked the blossoming of this new voice on the tenor saxophone. Alex Mathias is his name, and since returning from a scholarship to Berklee, he’s been building up an impressive resume that includes Republic of Loose and a tenor chair in The Dublin City Jazz Orchestra. The quartet has been making itself heard on various gigs around town in anticipation of this Pendulum debut, and joining its youthful leader in bebop admiration of Charlie Parker are pianist Johnny Taylor, bassist Damian Evans and drummer Dominic Mullan.

Way Out Of Town Trio feat. David Lyttle
Kellys, Bridge Street, Galway
Sunday 15th October 9pm
€10/8

Neff Irizarry (USA), guitar
Antonio Quijano (Puerto Rico), bass
David Lyttle (Ireland), drums.

Conceived online, born in Helsinki and tested in Tallinn, Way Out of
Town Trio is a dynamic new improvising group featuring Helsinki-based
Puerto Rican guitarist Neff Irizarry, UK-based Puerto Rican electric
bassist Antonio Quijano and Irish drummer David Lyttle. The players'
collective credits include Dave Liebman, Randy Brecker, Greg Osby and
Eddie Gomez, and their own musical preferences merge to form a style
where jazz, lounge, ambient and hip hop are all identifiable. So don't
be suprised if free turns funky, and then funky gets swinging, because
this trio is way out of town...

http://www.myspace.com/wayoutoftowntrio

Known for his passionate and driving approach to jazz that swings
hard, 24-year-old drummer/composer David Lyttle has been hailed as one
of the most significant musicians to have emerged in Ireland in recent
years. He has performed professionally in Ireland, the US, Canada,
Britain and Europe, with some of the world's finest musicians,
including saxophonists Greg Osby, David Liebman, Jean Toussaint, Tommy
Smith, Jaleel Shaw and Soweto Kinch.

"...notably assured technique, greased lightning reflexes and an
unfailing sense of swing...a prolific composer too."
- Jazzwise (UK) on David Lyttle


"...a drummer of real talent."
- All About Jazz (USA) on David Lyttle

Boylan/Buckley/Evans Trio

There is a new venue in Howth, it has a baby grand piano in it, and every Sunday, Cian Boylan, Hugh Buckley and Damian Evans play there.

5-7pm. No cover charge. There's also a great restaurant upstairs with a Sunday special, I think it's a €20 3 course meal, but you'd need to check on that to be sure.

It's on over Christmas and all through Jan, and they just started a comedy club on Friday nights.

It's a really nice room, max occupancy 35-40 people. That's it.

Eric bibb is playing, Galway (roisin dubh) on the 29th of May, Dublin (Abbey theatre) 30th May, Belfast (Errigle inn) 31st of May and Letterkenny (an grainne theatre) 1st of June.
Only the tickets for Galway and belfast are available at the moment though.

Correction: you can buy tickets direct from the abbey theatre on 01-8787222 as I have just done, this could be the same for letterkenny but galway and belfast are on ticketmaster.

Uri Caine plays John Zorn

Uri Caine to perform in St.Peter’s Church of Ireland, Drogheda Friday 5 March 2010.

“Uri Caine is a king among princes, a consummate musician who sounds great whether playing Bach, accompanying Don Byron on Puccini’s Nessun Dorma, wrangling an ambitious avant-jazz ensemble around the music of Mahler . . . . . He is prolific, hugely proficient, and ambitious.”John Walters, Guardian

Louth Contemporary Music Society’s first concert for 2010 features a performance by the great American pianist Uri Caine in St.Peter’s Church of Ireland Drogheda on 5 March 2010 at 8pm.

Pianist and composer Uri Caine gleefully and artfully ignores the boundaries between musical genres, mixing up Mahler and Bach with original music, swinging bebop and hard-hitting drum-and-bass. He launches LCMS 2010 concerts by performing John Zorn’s Book of Angel’s Volume 6: Moloch.

Moloch is a remarkable set of piano solos. Some of these pieces are dark, others very beautiful. All are played superbly and imaginatively. Uri Caine is a Philadelphia-raised virtuoso, unconfined by genres. Likewise-unfettered is the music’s composer, John Zorn, from whose Book of Angels {Masada Book Two} these pieces come.

In addition to performing solo and with his own ensemble, Caine has worked with groups, including those led by by Don Byron, Sam Rivers, Clark Terry, Arto Lindsay,John Zorn and Barry Altschul. He has also performed with the Woody Herman Band, the Enja Band, and Global Theory. Caine has appeared at many jazz festivals including the What is Jazz? Festival, the Texaco Jazz Festival (New York), the Montreal Jazz Festival, Jazz Across the Borders (Berlin), and the Newport Jazz Festival. Appearances at classical music festivals include the Salzburg Festival, the Holland Festival, and the Israel Festival. Caine is the recipient of grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
