Kevin Lawlor presents a program of contemporary jazz at this Annual Jazz event that has become a feature of the WAC and CWSM calendar.

New York saxophonist Oded Tzúr has ushered in a new era for his instrument by giving it a whole new voice — one that is described by The Guardian as a "unique tenor sax whisper”. Often recalled by the artist as a 10-year leap of faith, this complete reimagining of the instrument has established him as a torchbearer of Spiritual Jazz. His music is more than a conversation, states the New York City Jazz Record: “It is an interactive prayer".

Gediminas Karkauskas, a Lithuanian pianist based in Dublin for 20 years, studied at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague and completed his Masters at the Dublin Institute of Technology Conservatory of Music. He has performed at prestigious venues like The National Concert Hall in Dublin and the Archduke in London, as well as at the Kilkenny Arts Festival. His debut album, 'Lost Suite', was a top jazz album of the year and received critical acclaim. Gediminas will perform with drummer Kevin Lawlor and double bassist Florian Kockott, offering a mix of original music, jazz standards, and unexpected pieces.

Come along and enjoy an evening of live music in a relaxed, café-style setting. We’re switching things up — traditional auditorium seating is making way for a warm, intimate café atmosphere, complete with tables and chairs. Sit back, sip a drink, and experience the music up close in a setting designed for comfort and connection.

Elijah Fox continues with his improvised solo piano concert tour. Inspired by Keith Jarrett, all the shows are improvised and recorded and reflect Fox's experiences in different cities. The grammy nominated pianist and producer, Fox also tours with Yussef Dayes and has just released his latest album, Analog Works for the Highways of Los Angeles.

Although at home in a variety of musical styles – Trombonist/Composer/Arranger – Paul Dunlea concentrates primarily on Jazz and Improvisation. This has furthered his reputation as one of Ireland’s most in demand musicians.

Route 66, the fabulous 16-piece Big Band with a difference are delighted to bring their amazing "Live in Concert" show back to Solstice. The show, which has been a huge success in theatres throughout Leinster for the past 10 years, takes audiences on a magical musical tour from the 40s right up to the modern day, with numbers made famous by Frank Sinatra, Glen Miller, Tom Jones, Adele, Joe Dolan, Tina Turner, and many more. It’s a great mix of music played with a brilliant big band sound and a treat for every age.
