Solo Series I - "This is a solo project featuring Simon Jermyn on basses & guitars. Irish bassist & composer Simon Jermyn is one persistent dude. He forced me (at gunpoint no less) to listen to an earlier trio CD of his and I was sure glad he did. Simon has worked with the great Belgian reeds wiz Joachim Badenhorst as well as with Ryan Blotnick (CD on Songlines). Here Simon has put together an auspicious solo effort for basses & guitars, adding layers of each and turning them into a unique blend.

So when drummer and leader, Kevin Brady, and his cohorts, pianist Bill Carrothers and bassist Dave Redmond, settled on Zeitgeist for their album’s title, this is what they probably had in mind. And there’s no doubt but that the music here represents a similar meeting of minds. If this piano trio has a model, it’s the kind of interactive democracy of the original Bill Evans trio of the late 50s, with all three instruments contributing to the dialogue. But nobody here is cloning Evans, Scott La Faro or Paul Motian. Any influences they may have as individuals are now so finely filtered that they’re like obscure genes on some remote strand of their cultural DNA. What you get now is the sum total of what makes them the musicians they are...

Dublin based drummer Kevin Brady has been one of the most dynamic forces in Irish jazz over the last few years, as the founder of the Living Room Project Music Collective and the rhythmic force behind two of the country's leading trios - Organics and the Phil Ware Trio. Recently he has begun to lead his own groups, and particularly to collaborate with front rank U.S. pianist Bill Carrothers. The result is this assured debut, with a set that ranges from standards to Wayne Shorter'Waterbabies,showcasing both Brady's deep connection with bassist Dave Redmond and the quirky brilliance of one of America's finest pianists. - by Cormac Larkin - The Sunday Tribune
