Emergent Ensemble at The Grand Social

Doors 7:30pm/Music 8:00pm

The Ballroom at The Grand Social, 35 Liffey Street Lower, Dublin 1.

Drummer Eoghan McCloskey formed Emergent Ensemble after relocating to Dublin following a 25-year music career in Austin, Texas. Inspired by the fresh energy of the Dublin jazz scene, Eoghan has brought together some of the most in-demand instrumentalists in Irish Jazz for exhilarating live interpretations of under-appreciated compositions by some of the most prolific innovators in jazz, such as Bobby Hutcherson, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, and Jackie McLean. The band's combination of high-wire musicianship and emotive expression appeals to both seasoned jazz fans and newcomers to the genre.

Personnel:

Eoghan McCloskey (drums)
Hayley Kavanagh (saxophone)
Bill Blackmore (trumpet)
Scott Flanigan (keys)
Cormac O'Brien (bass)

We're very grateful to our friends at The Grand Social for hosting this event.
