Easter Jazz

pclancy

Instead of eggs I want to see some live jazz in Dublin (or somewhere else??) this weekend, can anyone recommend one or two acts to go see from the list below? I've only ever heard Isotope (excellent!!) in JJs, not familiar with any of the others.

Cheers :cool:

Fusion

Did you go last night Fusion? Thought it was unbelievable. Peterson just struts in with his trumpet, plays some mad solo with half-valving and high wails, then struts back out!

I didnt make it anywhere

Must take in Peckham/Peterson next time looks very impressive.

Phil McDermott was brilliant, great guy aswell. Sadly we had to leave at the interval though, but a great gig from what I heard. Greg Felton is excellent, have to check him out more.
