ReDiviDeR is a two-horns/ no-chords quartet coming towards jazz fans in Dolan’s on November 23. The quartet was established by drummer Matt Jacobson in 2007 as a creative outlet for his compositions as well as his somewhat perverse fascination with anagrams. John Daly of Limerick Jazz reports:
“While Jacobson failed to find such avid fellow followers of wordplays, he did find and enlist the help of creative and rhythmic specialists Derek Whyte, bass and Nick Roth, alto sax, with trombonist Colm O’Hara arriving a little later”.
ReDiviDeR plays all original compositions from Jacobson (”one of Ireland’s most exciting young talents” – The Irish Times) with influences including artists such as Charles Mingus, Steve Coleman, Deerhoof and Phil Ivey. Apparently, the formula for putting all this together in one setting is blending downtown grooves with catchy melodies and collective improvs.
The band has recorded its debut album ‘Never oDD or eveN’ and this gig Upstairs in Dolan’s is one in series for the Irish release tour. 9pm, Wednesday 23.
