CEO Experiment featuring Richie Buckley & Brian Dunning***
7pm, Friday 20th November
STRUT at The Peacock, Abbey Theatre
“Such stage-crafted intimacy translates into electrifying interplay and intuitive, free-wheeling improvisation” – All About Jazz
Combining a certain youthful vigour with two undisputed elder statesmen of the Irish jazz scene, we have another presentation specially devised for STRUT. Piano trio, The CEO Experiment, have been making waves here in Ireland in the past 2 years, garnering praise for their highly creative improvisations and their tighter than tight sound world. Elements of Post-bop and contemporary jazz are channelled through original compositions as well as their inventive take on traditional standards, serving as a vehicle for high-energy interplay. Le Cool have labeled them “One of the most exciting up-an-coming artists in the country”. While recording their debut album in Michael Buckley’s Dublin studio, Michael wanted in and the piano trio became a quartet. They will be joined for this special performance by another Buckley that needs little introduction. Tenor saxophonist, Richie Buckley is “something of a genius, with a world reputation among saxophonists” according to the Irish Times. And rounding out this quintet with aplomb is flautist Brian Dunning who is no stranger to the Peacock Stage, having played on numerous occasions throughout the 70’s and early 80’s.
Collectively this quintet will strut their stuff, dipping into material from ‘Alone Together’ as well as a collective wealth of original material.
** The original billing for this early show of STRUT was Louis Stewart & Brian Dunning, which regrettably is now CANCELLED due to unforeseen circumstances**
** Ticket-holders can contact the Abbey Theatre Box Office with any queries or refunds**
Brian Dunning will now be joined on stage by saxophonist Richie Buckley and the innovative piano trio The CEO Experiment (feat. Cote Calmet, Leopoldo Osio and Peter Erdei) playing select material from Stewart & Dunning’s “Alone Together” album, in addition to original material from Buckley, Dunning and CEO Experiment.
CEO Experiment featuring Richie Buckley & Brian Dunning STRUT at the Peacock at 7pm on Friday 20th November.
