Event Description
Described by The Irish Times as a textbook example of the ongoing vitality of the tradition, the Phil Ware Trio have set a new benchmark for the piano trio here.
Born in England but a Dubliner since 2000, Phil Ware's contribution to the Irish jazz resurgence has been generous to a fault, his tasteful and always supportive playing a leitmotif of many leading groups. Like the great piano trios that define this enduring jazz idiom, this is a democratic discourse between the three participating musicians, with each of the musical elements in a delicately poised balance between collective responsibility and individual expression. Stride for stride, a piano trio from Ireland worthy of the genre’s illustrious history.

Damian Evans - Double Bass
