Michael Buckley's Dublin Standard Time PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 21 March 2010

 

A third Pendulum in recent months for Ireland’s finest saxophonist in good company with the best of his own generation, playing the greatest of the songs that have reverberated through jazz and popular music over the last century. With Dublin Standard Time, Buckley has been offering a full blooded, old school blowing approach to the jazz standard, and the band winds ever tighter with each outing.  Myles Drennan on Fender Rhodes along with bassist Michael Coady and drummer Sean Carpio, Buckley takes all the sap offered by each setlist before moving on to new pastures.  This time out, they turn their attention to popular songs of the day like Too Young to Go Steady, the graceful chords of Ellington’s Black and Tan Fantasy and the open tonalities and sprightly tempo of that staple of the Davis repertoire Milestones.

 

Admission €10   -   Doors 8pm

 

 

 

 

 

 
Matt Jacobsen's Origami PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 28 March 2010

 

Jacobsen, one of Dublin’s most exciting young drummers, has been studying in Switzerland the last two years, and you can determine for yourself ifs its been time well spent with Origami, as they conclude a short Irish tour. Formed in Lucerne in autumn 08, Origami are Jacobsen and Japan’s Keisuke Matsuno on guitar and electronics, Switzerland’s Gregor Frei on tenor sax and bass clarinet and German bassist Alex Binder.  Nothing less than an eclectic approach would fit with such diversity, and the creative impetus draws on distinct polarities from Morton Feldman to Rage against The Machine, all folded into a coherent musical edifice.
