Jazz Ireland rolls out the first phase of a Directory of Resources for the Irish jazz community. The directory will provide the location and pertinent information for any venue, studio, organisation and school that has supported Irish Jazz. First and foremost, I would like to thank Jennifer McMahon for her dedication to this project, from the very beginning she was always on hand to help get this directory online.
Phase 1
The first phase of the directory will contain information for Arts Centres and Cultural Centres across Ireland as I feel there is a good chance that these locations will still remain open after Covid-19 and when live music returns to our stages and lives. The directory listings will have photos, contact information, descriptions, links, opening hours and you can even search on a map if you prefer.

The latest EP from Rynx Laneran “Morphology Pt.2” was released on 21st February 2021 on all streaming platforms.
Each track of Rynx Laneran’s latest release illustrates a significant stage in Evin O’Brien’s development and influences as a musician, composer and music fan. Subtle references re-contextualized within original compositions, explored in-depth through the process of collaborative improvisation. This EP is a reflection on how this ensemble has matured over the course of a year of performing together. Rynx Laneran produce three distinctive “scenes” over the course of this EP, moments of intense groove and interplay ensue.

On this edition I pay tribute to the great late Chick Corea who passed away early this month at the age of 79, his music thankfully still with us and out there for generations to come. I hope you will enjoy my handpicked selection from his early years in the 1960s to his 21st Century Trilogy Project.
Acclaimed Irish vocalist and composer EDEL MEADE will release her stunning new solo album ‘BRIGIDS AND PATRICIAS’ on 8th March, International Women’s Day.
"One of the most powerful vocal performances of late."

A strikingly original artist working in the field of jazz, folk and contemporary music; her voice has been described as mesmerising or magical even, while her music is haunting, evocative and powerful. This compelling new collection of original songs reflects on what it means to be an Irish woman living in 21st century Ireland, shaped by Irish history, folklore and contemporary society at large.
