LIMERICK Jazz Society makes a strong opening for 2018 Spring season on Wednesday February 21 with Carole Nelson leading her trio to launch a new album.
Move through Dolan’s doors at 8.45pm for Carole Nelson on piano, soprano saxophone and words set to her own composition.
She is joined by Cormac O’Brien on bass and Dominic Mullen, drums, for ‘One Day in Winter’. Their musicianship is fabulous.
Of the central artist, we hear:
“Long at the creative hub of multi-award winning Irish jazz group Zrazy, Carole now turns her attention to exploration of the piano trio form. ‘One Day in Winter’ is located in a particular space and time. Living between the River Barrow and the Blackstairs Mountains in Carlow gave Carole both the physical and mental landscape for composition.
“The album traces the course of one winter’s day, from before dawn to moonrise. In between, we are taken on a journey that describes a human landscape as much as a physical one – meditation, playfulness, wonder, contemplation of ageing and death, human warmth and companionship.”
