Event Description
For the year or 2023 we start with a curation by rising star guitarist and composer Chris Guilfoyle.
The Dublin Jazz Co-op presents RBG Trio:
The RBG Trio is a collective group of fearless improvisers based in Ireland who thrive on ensemble interplay, challenging the roles of each instrument over a broad spectrum of grooves and textures, and harnessing their power as a group to create something larger than themselves.
Their sound ranges from pre and post bop, soulful, grungy, and sometimes tender sometimes free, sometimes swinging but with the blues always felt in the foundation.
They take huge inspiration from the mastery of tenor saxophone trio cannon royalty in Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson and Elvin Jones, through to Joe Lovano, Dave Holland, Fly Trio and many more. With their own perspectives fused together, they create a sound that is reflective of the times but connected to the lineage.
Tenor saxophonist, Meilana Gillard (currently selected as an Improvised Music Company 30/30 artist celebrating 30 of the top improvising musicians in Ireland for 2022-23), double bassist Dave Redmond and drummer Kevin Brady all have more than 2 decades experience playing and producing their own albums respectively, are among the first call jazz musicians in the country. The RBG Trio considers their collective sound to be a celebration of all their inspirations, experiences and imagination. Each artist composes for the trio and are often changing material as they don’t like to stay in one place too long.
Since they started together in 2019, The RBG Trio has already performed at EuroJazz in Mexico City and many festivals around Ireland and UK such as Brilliant Corners in Belfast.
They have just released their new single ‘Neither Here no There’ getting 4 stars from Marlbank (Nov,’22) and will record their debut album in February 2023 to be released in September with a corresponding tour.
