Nigel Mooney has just released his long-awaited 3rd album, 'Mooney's Blues'. Hailed by the B.B.C. as ‘Ireland’s King of the Blues’, Nigel Mooney is long established as Ireland’s leading jazz singer/guitarist. Mooney formed his Gripewater Blues Band in the early 1980’s. A self-taught musician, Mooney was influenced by the blues from an early age and his hard-bop style of guitar playing is expressive and melodic with a bluesy groove. He possesses a warm and rich tenor voice and has an almost flawless sense of pitch.

Oceanna | About

Oceanna is a Dublin based jazz band with a mixture of South American and Irish musicians. Bringing together elements from the contemporary jazz scene and latin music, the band has been shaking the crowds with their unique music style across many different venues and events in town, including The Emerald Sessions and events in RTÉ Radio One. Their music is all original and touching, and can be described as instrumental and very sentimental.

Guitarist Joseph Leighton has been hailed as one of Ireland’s brightest new jazz talents. Starting out as a teenage rock prodigy in his hometown of Derry, he became interested in jazz and began to focus a lot of his playing and studies on that. Over the next few years his teachers would also include guitar icons Jesse van Ruller, Mike Walker and Peter Bernstein, following awards from Moving on Music, PRSF and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.

In Paris 1969, jazz legend Thelonious Monk records a spot for French television. Between takes, he is bombarded with questions. Cut together entirely from recently unearthed outtakes, Alain Gomis’ Rewind & Play provides a view from the other side, showing how Monk experienced racism during the event. The stark yet pointed edit by the French Senegalese director (Félicité) indicts not just the interviewer but more broadly the white institutions still upheld by pervasive racism today.

Let's get together and play jazz standards! Get your chord changes from iRealPro, and the heads from the Real Book. All and any instruments and singers are welcome. This is an event organized by the community.
