Len McCarthy Sax

Peter Hanagan Bass

John Daly Drums

Dr Louis Stewart, the recipient of an honorary doctorate from Trinity College Dublin, began his international career in 1968 when he was awarded the special jury prize at The Montreaux International Jazz Festival. Shortly thereafter he began working with Benny Goodman, an association that lasted three years, and gave way to an extended and prominent period with the late, great, English saxophonist/flautist Tubby Hayes.

As a member of Ronnie Scott\'s quartet and quintet for several years, Louis began recording as leader in the mid-\'70s, making albums with Sam Jones and Billy Higgins, with Peter Ind, and later, with Red Mitchell, saxophonist Spike Robinson, pianist Bill Charlap, and now, more recently again, a new CD, recorded in Venice with alto great Peter King (\"Angel Eyes\").

In the 70s Louis began his lengthy association with George Shearing (with whom he has toured America, Brazil and all of Europe; and recorded eight albums - several in trio with Danish bass master Niels-Henning Orsted-Pedersen, and in quintet with vibist Steve Nelson and drummer Dennis Mackrel). He began working with Canadian genius-orchestrator and arranger, Robert Farnon in 1976, and at least ten albums resulted: with singers Joe Williams and Eileen Farrell, with Shearing and with trombone legend J.J. Johnson, on all of which he is a prominently featured soloist.

In 1994, as a member of the Shearing trio, Louis featured for a week opposite Tommy Flanagan\'s trio in The Blue Note, New York. This led to an association - still active - with Peter Washington and Lewis Nash which has included a week-long engagement, as leader, at the legendary Village Vanguard, NYC (with the masterful Richard Wyands in the piano chair, and, for that particular week, Kenny Washington, drums, substituting for Lewis Nash).

Continuing to make Dublin his home, Louis performs regularly in Germany and Norway, where, in the national theatre, Oslo, his James Joyce/Ulysses inspired concert piece \"JoyceNotes\" has been produced to acclaim.

Dj Sneak Biog



In 1983, Carlos Sosa AKA DJ Sneak, moved to the city of Chicago from the island of Puerto Rico, where his early musical experiences and influences were rooted in salsa, meringue and Latin orchestras. Chicago, like Puerto Rico, is a city rich with musical styles and sounds. In Chicago, Sneak found inspiration in underground house music, Warehouse parties and \"old school\" mix tapes from the early pioneers - Farley Jackmaster Funk, Ralphi Rosario, Steve Hurley and local radio station shows played on WBMX.



Sneak earned his nickname rocking graffiti-tags and began working at retail stores as an airbrush artist, which kept him out of trouble and allowed him to make important local industry contacts. Development as a DJ came while working regular mobile DJ jobs and local nightclubs. But, in an already saturated DJ pool, Sneak focused on his music production and started his independent label - Defiant Records.



In 1992, using the fundamental studio pieces, Sneak began recording tracks with an unusual new style. In 1994, while still working at local store Gramophone Records, Sneak met Cajmere (Green Velvet) owner of Cajual and Relief Records. Cajmere released three of Sneak\'s catalyst tracks, which helped to bring Sneak international recognition, and with it, a global DJing career.



In 1995, Sneak\'s new sound revolutionized house music with inspirational sounds and rhythms never heard. The disco filtered house grooves became Sneak\'s signature sound. Innovator to many, Sneak\'s love for music inspired others like Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx, Armand Van Helden.



In 1996, DJ Sneak\'s \'You Can\'t Hide from your Bud\', on Derrick Carter\'s Classic Recordings, ironically became an instant classic itself; a blueprint for funky, filtered disco-influenced house – AKA Sneak Style – redefining Chicago\'s underground music. From 1996 to present day, DJ Sneak has perfected his remix skills, seizing opportunities to work with world-class talent and fine-tune his sound. His highly anticipated remixes take dance floors around the world to levels of climactic frenzy with his trademark booty-shakin, bass-heavy beats and rhythms.

After years of development, DJ Sneak is a familiar name across the world\'s club circuit playing the very best venues and events. A frequent visitor to Ibiza - the island of spiritual parties and Mecca of dance music culture, Sneak has participated in several events with the best UK production companies - Ministry of Sound, Cream, Manumission, and Miss Moneypenny\'s to mention a few.



A favorite at United Kingdom\'s summer festivals (Creamfields, T in the Park), Sneak shows no mercy on the sound systems and is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Recognized as the disco filter innovator, his productions and musical style has maintained his status as one of the Top 100 DJs in the world. Dynamic in style - from furious banging Chicago tracks and Latin tribal beats, to disco filtered reworks of retro classics and melodic rhythms to suit your soul.



In fall 2001 Sneak launched a new record label Magnetic Recordings, where he has been releasing new music (including Sneak’s 2003’s booty shakin’ top 20 uk hit ‘Fix My’ Sink’ and subsequent album ‘Housekeepin’), with compilations to come, along with the introduction of new musical talents. He continues to contribute to the evolution and definitive sound that is Chicago House Music. The future brings light to DJ Sneak\'s journey, focusing on the development of electronic music\'s revolution and ongoing struggle to be acknowledged as the sound of tomorrow.

In 2005 Sneak was enlisted to mix the first installment of the acclaimed ‘House Of Om’ series on Om Records. Ministry of Sound came calling in 2006 to have Sneak mix a double CD for their ‘Sessions’ series as well as hosting Sneak’s quarterly ‘Sneak Beats’ residency at their flagship club in London. 2007 saw Sneak contribute to the production of Todd Terry’s ‘Get Down.’ Showing no signs of slowing down, Sneak released multiple EPs in 2008 (‘Bounce Back EP,’ ‘House Beaters Volume 1,’ ‘Doing it in the Frisco EP,’ and ‘Big Man’s Love EP’) and his latest full length compilation on NRK Music, ‘Back In The Box.

In 2009 DJ Sneak vs. Herve’ ‘Droppin Kisses’ reached number 1 in Music Week UK’s official club chart and received BBC Radio 1 spins from Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Judge Jules, and Kissy Sell Out. Sneak’s legendary back to back DJ sets with Ricardo Villalobos have become the talk of the electronic music circuit. Sneak’s remixes of tracks by Loco Dice, A-Trak & Laidback Luke, and Matthew Dear, have been ripping up dance floors across the globe. Sneak’s newest artist album ‘The House of House’ artists album is out now on Magnetic.



Soydan Biog:



Soydan





Soydan Tuc was born in Germany in 1975 and since 2002 has been based in Waterford, Ireland. Ask Soydan about his roots however and he’ll tell you they are firmly in Turkey. An exponent of the nu-school of funky Chicago-influenced jacking house, Soydan’s sound is often compared to the genre’s pioneers: names like Derrick Carter and DJ Sneak.

Indeed the likes of Sneak, Mark Farina, Diz and DJ Heather are big fans of Soydan. This is evidenced by his appearance on two Farina compilations for Om Records, an EP for Sneak’s label Oomph and his constant rotation in their sets. Soydan’s work can also be found on a range of imprints pushing the modern jacking house sound such as Guesthouse, Funkfield, Maracuja and Dustpan.

The majority of Soydan’s output, however, is found on Yakuza Recordings, his own label which he runs when he’s not working his day job as a professional tattooist - his trade provides the background for the label name. Formed in 2006, Yakuza has released music by artists including Groove Federation, Craig Hamilton and Gramophonedzie. The label’s highlight is a collaboration between Soydan and DJ Sneak – a four track EP entitled ‘The Latin Kardes’.

As a busy DJ, Soydan can be found regularly rocking dancefloors around Europe from Scotland to Serbia, across the USA and of course in his homeland Turkey.

2012: New Album, Electric Tour and New Video!



DELORENTOS are delighted to announce the forthcoming release of a 12-track album, “Little Sparks”, on 27 January 2012 along with a full electric tour to co-incide.



Recorded with Mercury Music Prize Award Winner Rob Kirwan (PJ Harvey), the 12 tracks are the fully-fledged fruits of the band’s recordings over 2011 and display a depth of songwriting prowess that ably eclipses the band’s first two albums and offers a real insight into the ever-growing potential of the band.



It follows hot on the heels of the recent 4-track EP (of the same name) which came packaged with a full colour, 40 page magazine that the band devised and edited – with the help of their friends – and was accompanied by a successful acoustic tour of Ireland (the band’s first ever).



All of which signals a new approach by the band who are keen to embrace and share all aspects of their interests and skills from here onwards.



============================



The band have also just released the first of a series of acoustic videos filmed lovingly by Award-winning film-maker Myles O’Reilly and his crew, which you can find at: www.delorentos.net

And

The Bill Carrothers Trio



Song traditions of different complexions come under the scrutiny of five exceptional musicians in this concert that features duo and trio performance with a memorable quintet finale.



Certainly England’s and arguably Europe’s finest jazz singer, Norma Winstone has saved the very best work of a four-decade career until now. Recent recordings for ECM have drawn forth something special and here she reunites with guitarist Tommy Halferty, a perfect foil for her lissome voice and forthright delivery. It’s a style all the more affecting for its absence of histrionics and melodrama, attesting to the power of time, experience and musical refinement.



With a brace of cds together, drummer Kevin Brady here reconvenes his acclaimed trio with Dublin bassist David Redmond and Michigan pianist Bill Carrothers. One of the most lyrical and individual voices in jazz today, Carrothers is a pianist who stands apart from the crowd, and his impressive back catalogue includes the elegiac Armistice and Civil War Diaries, CDs that stand as powerful statements on the human dimension in all conflicts. Distilled over many nights as rhythm section of choice for Dublin\'s leading pianists, Brady and Redmond play with all the nuance and dynamics that the idiom demands, alive to the invention and sophistication of one of the finest pianists in the US today. </h4>"; win.setDestroyOnClose(); win.showCenter();

She is a quiet, relaxed performer with a wicked sense of humour. Her voice is unusually clear and sweet and her between song anecdotes are amusing, eccentric and off-the-cuff. With three studio albums, a live album, double platinum sales and a Meteor Music Award under her belt, Juliet Turner decided that a change of scene was needed and in October 2006 returned to Trinity College Dublin to undertake a four year BSc in Clinical Speech and Language Studies. Alongside the studies, the songwriting and performing continues and Juliet recorded a fourth studio album with producer Keith Lawless in a warehouse in Dublin.



The last album, “PEOPLE HAVE NAMES” was released in June 2008 and has been garnering rave reviews:



Irish Times four stars. ****
JULIET TURNER: People Have Names




“Just as Juliet Turner’s palate for life’s sweet and salty moments has evolved, so her palette of sound has rumbled onwards as well, and her appreciation for life’s minor chords has grown. The title track (left to the end of the album, where it can seep into the subconscious) is a thought provoking meditation on life’s defining qualities: “It’s the work of a life time to love and be loved in return, to love to the end”. Lyrically, Turner’s attention turns to the big and small ticket stories; loneliness (Tuesday Night Ladies), romance (High Hopes) and the contradictions of youth and age (The Elder of the Tribe). Arrangements are spacious and unforced, with suitably tinted brass and strings, and Turner’s wisdom in letting her CD’s percolate for olympian periods is palpable on this gloriously taut collection”.



Belfast Telegraph
 - JULIET TURNER: People Have Names
 (Hear This) 4 Stars ****


You’d be hard pushed to find a flaw in Juliet Turner’s musical armoury. The Omagh-born songstress has usually delivered in both recording studio and stage. She’s a natural at encapsulating a marriage between folk and the singer-songwriter genre. “Season of the Hurricane” from 2004 was an excellent body of work — but since then she’s swapped the studio for the lecture hall and gone back to Trinity College Dublin to do a four-year degree in speech and language therapy.
 Fast forward to 2008 and Turner has just made the album of her life .
People Have Names is a quite stunning collection of material — gorgeously presented by simple, sumptuous arrangements that are underpinned by Turner’s delicate vocal chords. The single Trickster is among the many highlights, but the two outstanding tracks are High Hopes and the opener Invisible to the Eye.





Hot Press Music Magazine ****
Irish Maverick is Album of the Year Contender. \"Whereas many of her contemporaries have lost momentum, their best work behind them, Juliet Turner’s fourth studio album is an intoxicating example of an adventurous artist moving forward, discovering fresh topics, literate themes and intriguing sounds with which to tease her artistic muse. “Invisible to the Eye” is a striking song with Turner’s voice at its most sublime. The Cohenish “High Hopes” looks at the vicissitudes of love, “Elder of the Tribe” focuses on contrasting generational differences, while the unsettling, country-tinged “Tuesday Night Ladies” - boasting a particularly exquisite vocal from Turner - is a graphic depiction of modern lives lived with no direction home. Despite the slow tempo, “Joy” is uplifting and brash, with a self-confident sweet swagger, but “Trickster” is the real gem, a deceptively catchy tune with the refrain “What do you mean you don’t like shopping? What do you mean you don’t watch TV?”. Keith Lawless’s production, drizzled with warm strings and splashes of accordion and brass, brings a seductive and uncluttered feel to a bunch of songs that Turner seems to have been tenderly nurturing for a while. “People Have Names” is about as faultless as it gets and is a serious contender for album of the year.\"





Sunday Life - 
JULIET TURNER: People Have Names
 \"Turner has quietly evolved into one of our best singer/songwriters, and this fourth album, with a rich production and an increasingly sophisticated musical palette, may just be her best yet. Its songs are personal snapshots that reflect on the hard, bitter truths of life and are suffused with an air of sadness and regret that chime perfectly with the melancholy edge to Turner’s voice.\"





Biography:



Juliet Turner stumbled into making music. She was given a guitar for her fifteenth birthday and met a poet who told her to start writing her own songs. In 1996 whilst at university in Glasgow, she was offered the chance to record those songs in a little studio called “Heaven” with small independent label “Sticky Music”. The result was “Let’s Hear it for Pizza”. People are still buying the album years later for songs such as “Pizza and Wine”, “Beyond the Backyard” and “Indian Summer”. It is a rough and ready album with some gorgeous lyrics. Innocent yet a little twisted.

Juliet moved to Dublin to finish her degree and to start playing live shows. Word travels swiftly on the Dublin music scene and soon Juliet was opening shows in the city for international artists such as Bob Dylan, Gabrielle, Natalie Merchant, Sting, U2 and Brian Adams and was touring with Joan Armatrading, Brian Kennedy, Ron Sexsmith and Roger McGuinn.

In 2000 Juliet set up her own label “Hear This! Records” with her manager Derek Nally. She released her second album “Burn the Black Suit” on the label and it went double platinum in Ireland. This album, produced by Gerard Kiely, was a little more ambitious – “pop veering into darker territory” as one reviewer put it. It gave the world three catchy pop tunes – “Dr Fell”, “Take the Money and Run” and “Burn the Black Suit”. Also the haunting “Belfast Central” and the duet with Brian Kennedy on “I hope that I don’t fall in love with you”, written by Tom Waits. This album was recently voted one of the top 100 Irish albums of all time by Hot Press Music Magazine Readers. Number 51.





“Season of the Hurricane” was released in Feb 2004 and went platinum in Ireland in June of the same year. This offered the radio hit “Everything Beautiful is Burning” and went to No. 8 in the Irish album charts. It also found itself nestling at no. 5 in the Amazon Internet charts between Norah Jones and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Less immediate than the previous album with smoother production values, Turner’s music became even more difficult to categorise and her subject matter more intriguing. The stand out track on this album is the starkly beautiful “No Good in this Goodbye”.

“There was no love as ordinary as ours. We walked hand in hand through this work day world. And the swiftness of your leaving caught me by surprise.
 There is no good in this goodbye”.

In Feb 2005 Juliet picked up an Irish Meteor Music Award for best Irish Female Performer, alongside artists such as Paddy Casey, PJ Harvey and Snow Patrol and she also signed a distribution deal with Valley in America. Deciding that the time was right to record some of the live shows, she released “Juliet Turner - Live” in November 2005, recorded over three nights in one of her favourite small Irish venues, the Spirit Store in Dundalk. This set the tone for the gigs to follow over the next couple of years as Juliet began to play all her live shows in small acoustic venues accompanied only by guitarist Brian Grace.

Then with three studio albums, a live album, double platinum sales and a Meteor Music Award under her belt, Juliet decided that a change of scene was needed and in October 2007 returned to Trinity College Dublin to undertake a four year BSc in Clinical Speech and Language Studies and has since received her degree.

Alongside the studies, the songwriting and performing continues and Juliet has been recording a new album with producer Keith Lawless. Described by the Irish Times as ‘one of the most intriguing of Irish female song writers arriving several years ago with a guitar and a batch of brittle, poignant songs; her broad accent and even broader outlook; her bitter-sweet tastes all marking her as one to watch’, Turner is still an artist marbled with tiny streaks of maverick.

The new batch of songs are thoughtful and less acerbic than some of her previous writing and the narrative lines running through the album are sympathetic and full of warmth. On stage Juliet Turner has a wry charm, a beautiful voice and fine lyrics, making her a compelling live performer. Listen for “Elder of the Tribe” and “Luisa” in particular. The release of new material seems to fall in a four-year cycle and her last album released in 2008, was eagerly anticipated and extremely well received.

tour announced Monday 22nd August 2011



After fans were left spilling out of a packed 5000 capacity Bohemia Tent at Sonisphere Festival 2011, InMe’s loyal hordes could be excused for feeling the need for a full UK tour; if a 34‐date tour across the UK and Ireland doesn’t prove that this is a band who give back what they get from their fans then not much else will…

February 2012 will see InMe’s fifth studio album, “The Pride”, released; the tour schedule around the album will take in the sweatiest of venues around the UK

and Ireland, from Plymouth to Aberdeen to Dublin, culminating in the slightly less intimate finale at London’s Islington Academy. Joining InMe will be two of

the UK’s finest underground bands who will be announced in the coming weeks. At Sonisphere 2010 Kerrang witnessed “fans old and new celebrate a band who lionheartedly refuse to die”, and it’s this spirit – driven by a desire to make and perform music as they have done since they were teens thrust into the spotlight in 2003 – that makes InMe one of the most respected bands in the UK alternative rock scene. Last year saw them pack out The Garage in London for 4 album

shows to coincide with their “Best Of” album, and 2012 will see the band truly move on to the next stage, a rebirth and progression all at once.

“The Pride” will be released via Pledge Music, an innovative approach that puts the artists and their fans in control of the development of the album. Having seen

the overwhelming support frontman Dave McPherson received for his solo album in March 2011 via the same route, it was clear to InMe that their fans would want to be involved in how “The Pride” was released. Starting in November, the InMe Pledge Music campaign will offer up a multitude of

incentives to fans all pointed towards the ultimate goal of helping InMe reach as many fans as possible as they embark on the second phase of a journey that is far

from over. </h4>"; win.setDestroyOnClose(); win.showCenter();

Vocal Jazz: The Emilie Conway Quartet



Jazz singer Emilie Conway launches her debut album “The Secret of a Rose” with an evening of music to celebrate spring as a season of hope, change and new love with jazz standards You Must Believe in Spring, Joy Spring, Aguas de Marco, It Might As Well Be Spring,, But Beautiful, So In Love and many more..



Emilie: “The repertoire for this concert and album developed out of my personal response to the climate of negativity in our country over the past few years. Life has taught me that there is always hope and there is beauty, that this is a beautiful life we have here - where there are dark shadows, there is also light. For me, these songs are about affirmation and acceptance. Well just as it says in You Must Believe in Spring

Beneath the deepest snows, the secret of a rose,

Is merely that it knows, you must believe in spring!”



Born in Dublin, Emilie has won scholarships to Berklee College of Music, Boston, The Vermont Jazz Centre, and Souza Lima, Brazil, She has studied with Sheila Jordan, Jay Clayton in the US, Fionna Duncan UK and Dorothy Murphy here in Dublin. Her influences are Billie Holiday, Elis Regina, Edith Piaf, Abbey Lincoln, Kurt Elling and Joni Mitchell but also include Prokofiev, Satie, Chopin, Ravel, and Mahler. As a singer, Emilie’s strength and uniqueness lie in her simple and sensitive interpretation of the music.

Strong ties with jazz musicians and audiences outside of Ireland see Emilie a welcome guest vocalist in Vermont, Boston, Chicago and throughout Europe. In 2010 she was invited to perform at The Copenhagen Jazz Festival and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. At home “Emilie Sings Billie”, a Tribute to Billie Holiday, won an Arts Council award and was presented at the Linenhall Arts Centre, the Galway Jazz Club and Bewley’s Café Theatre. Not afraid to take risks, Emilie has made interesting choices in interpreting and bringing the music of less obvious artists, Elis Regina and Abbey Lincoln to Irish audiences with “Emilie Sings Abbey” and “Emilie Sings Elis” which won festival invitations to The Ranelagh Arts Festival, and The Flatlake’s Festival. ”Emilie Sings Elis” has been particularly well received by Ireland’s Brazilian community. .She has made several radio appearances on the Arena Arts show on RTE 1 radio, last October as part of RTE’s Big Music week. The Emilie Conway Quartet perform regularly at their musical home: Bewley’s Café Theatre, Grafton St, Dublin.

The evening features the talents of Emilie’s in-demand support musicians: Cian Boylan (piano), Dave Fleming (double bass) and Dominic Mullan (drums) who are among Ireland\'s leading musicians, sought after north and south. The Emilie Conway Quartet has been working together for the past six years so that there is a very close musical understanding.

THE LONG AWAITED NEW ALBUM FROM ANDY IRVINE

\'Irvine’s ageless voice alights on every twist and turn\' Siobhan Long, Irish Times.

\'Surely a folk classic in waiting!\' Gerry Quinn, Irish Examiner.

The release of Andy Irvine’s first studio album in over ten years is no small news. Finally coaxed off that perennial global tour for five minutes Irvine has managed to capture a bewitching set of original arrangements and songs that have illuminated his concerts of recent years. Abocurragh (a reference to his residence outside Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh) is not just one man’s album; it is a gathering of great musicians and a dramatic journey for the listener. That journey somehow involves murder, confidence tricks, cannibalism, and the divil himself. But fear not, such macabre themes are offset with the loveliest of music, not to mention a brilliant wit.



At the helm is producer Dónal Lunny, one of Andy’s longest running musical partners and, of course, Planxty compadre. If anyone knows their way around the complex psyche of Irvine songs and arrangements it is Lunny and an album that has, for all intents and purposes, being brewing for a decade, it would seem almost inconceivable not to have this man at the controls pulling it altogether. Otherwise the roll-call of musicians speaks for itself. Giants of traditional music, folk, rock and beyond, each one a key player in the Andy Irvine back-history: Liam O\'Flynn, Máirtín O\'Connor, Annbjřrg Lien, Lillebjřrn Nilsen, Nikola Parov, Jacky Molard, Bruce Molsky, Rens van der Zalm, Rick Epping, Graham Henderson, Paul Moore, Liam Bradley, Kate Burke and Ruth Hazleton.



An Andy Irvine album wouldn’t be so without the inclusion of songs relating to political corruption and the socialist struggle for equality. There is a triumvirate of songs included here which very much relate to this side of the artist. “Emptyhanded”, written by Greek songwriter George Papavgeris details the plight of poor Australian farmers battling droughts and unsympathetic banks. The line “My savings went to buy this land but all it’s good for is to bury me” evokes the pure sadness of the song, the pathos further enabled by the soft, elegiac arrangement. “The Spirit of Mother Jones” is an original song telling story of militant agitator Mary Harris who campaigned for the rights of American mining families from the late 19th century to her death in 1930. An American style folk song where Andy once again calls on the strength of spirit of his lifelong hero Woody Guthrie. “Victory at Lawrence”, another self-penned tune, is a tribute to the Lawrence Mills strike of 1912, “nearly a watershed in the social history of the USA” had it not been for the Depression of 1913, unemployment and the inability of Andy’s beloved Wobblies (Industrial Workers of the World) to motivate a strong enough union.



Andy Irvine’s longstanding journey through music has been well documented, from his early skiffle days to O’Donoghues pub, set in 1960s Dublin, and his through his work with Sweeney\'s Men, Planxty, Paul Brady and Patrick Street, not to mention countless other collaborations and four solo albums. This album, his fifth solo, has been a long time coming but when you consider the distractions; a widely publicised Planxty get-together, an incredible adventure with his world-folk ensemble Mozaik, regular Patrick Street sojourns and that endless trek around the world, you can excuse the delay.



The question now is does Abocurragh represent a more grounded Andy Irvine, still singing about the world at large but finally tired of the road? Probably not… Album available from www.andyirvine.com

PETE ROBBINS moved to New York in September, 2002, and immediately became “a welcome presence on the creative music scene.” He has since performed and/or recorded with Vijay Iyer, John Hollenbeck, John Zorn, Craig Taborn, Mario Pavone, Tyshawn Sorey, Ben Monder, Dan Weiss, Thomas Morgan, Melvin Sparks, and Kenny Wollesen, and has performed at festivals and clubs in the US and throughout Europe. Robbins’s releases “Waits and Measures” (2006, Playscape), “Do The Hate Laugh Shimmy” (2008, Fresh Sound/New Talent), and \"siLENT Z - live\" (2010, Hate Laugh Music) were all named as top-10 jazz releases by international media outlets. Robbins has been featured in Downbeat, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, JazzTimes, JazzWise, Jazzman, Politikken, National Public Radio, and DRS-2 (Swiss public radio). For his compositional achievements, Chamber Music America awarded Robbins with their prestigious “New Works: Creation and Presentation” grant as well as their \"New Works: Encore\" award. Robbins was also a recently guest panelist with the Brooklyn Arts Council. Robbins\'s music is an entertaining and sophisticated mix of jazz and rock that utilizes indepth harmony, odd meters, and catchy grooves.

“Mr. Robbins, an industrious and venturesome alto saxophonist and clarinetist, leads...an ambitious ensemble that combines spacious avant-gardism with the melodic punch of rock...[He has] a cool tone and a thoughtfully off kilter sensibility.…[C]omplex but welcoming... Mr. Robbins plays with coolness as well as confidence. ...[H]is compositions seem to breathe according to some collective whim.\" (Nate Chinen, New York Times)



\"No doubt, Robbins’ third solo outing looms as a logical progression of his spiraling notoriety within global jazz circles....A compelling and irrefutably, entertaining effort...Robbins should win over a horde of admirers with this outing, which conveys asymmetrical parts chops, gusto, funk, fusion and a clear-sighted view of the jazz canon. ... Simply stated, Robbins is a style master who sets himself apart from many of his peers. \" (Glen Astarita, AllAboutJazz.com / JazzReview.com)



\"As a horn player, Robbins has liquid timbre that can remind just how pretty modern jazz can be.\" (Jim Macnie - The Village Voice, The Providence Phoenix)



\"Consistently creative and completely satisfying is the new live CD from saxophonist Pete Robbins fabulous band, siLENT Z. They are simply one of the finest working bands in jazz right now, on par with the groups of Dave Holland, Henry Threadgill, Steve Lehman and William Parker. And like those bands, they don’t just play superbly, but play superb, creative music.\" (Big City blog)

Songs that portray everything from sin, murder, love, death, regret and hope to songs that are simply enjoyed for their time defying melodies and their inexplicable lifting of the soul. When such songs and music are discussed there is one name that is routinely referred to, Nick Cave… and of course The Bad Seeds.



Renowned artists, The Van Diemens have announced that they will play tribute to the great Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds on an Irish tour taking in the major cities of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Belfast with further gigs tbc in regional venues for 2012 . On Friday 13th April the band can be witnessed stripping the paint off the walls of Dolan’s Warehouse in Limerick city.



Mr Cave has spent his lifetime fathoming the depths of power of the written word through the art form of music, amounting to a force that conveys emotions that are seldom completely captured in any other artistic form.



For the first time ever there is a show that captures the character and musical genius of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, an exhilarating performance that is playing to packed houses and tumultuous reviews over the past number of months. The world of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds is being uniquely presented with a characteristic authority rarely harnessed by mere mortals within any single show to date. Performed by an A-list crack band of musicians and a frontman that is fast becoming thought of as being the degenerate cousin or bastard twin brother of Mister Cave, or as Hotpress magazine simply put it “A Superband”.



Whether or not the songs and music of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds play a central roll in your music collection, you simply have to experience this show live to feel a heaven-opening maelstrom of beauty scarcely captured by a live band. From blood soaked ballads to evocative Godliness and anarchic elegance there has never been a show that has captured the golden thread of what makes these men legends until now. Apart from the wry humour and stories that link the songs, you will experience an evening that has already been confirmed in many hearts as the most convincing performance of Nick Cave’s music anywhere on the planet.



The Van Diemens are the crusading dark horses that keep the mysteries of life alive, offering an escape route and destination to anyone seeking liberation from the regular paradigms of life.



The Van Diemens are Jack Healy on vocals, Gavin Murphy on guitar, J.D. Wilde on drums, Cian Boylan on piano and Dan Bodwell who plays Bass. All of these guys are well seasoned musicians from Irish, European and World tours in addition to countless albums they have performed on for a host of international acts including Van Morrison, Herbie Hancock, Duke Special, Camille O’Sullivan, Jerry Fish, Mary Coughlan, These Charming Men, etc. etc.

Empros picks up where the anthemic riffs and melodies of 2009\'s Geneva left off and injects evermore slithering rhythms amid skull-crushing heft with all the visceral intensity of Godflesh, Swans and Neurosis. Put simply, Empros is Russian Circles\' Master of Reality: a radical revision of both heavy and melody that is monolithic in its clarity and perfection. Or, like a lone surviving wooly beast emerging from a brutal winter\'s frost, Empros is the sound of a band shaking the ages from its shoulders with all the brutal force of a behemoth awakened.



Taking to Chicago\'s Phantom Manor studio once again with producer Brandon Curtis of The Secret Machines & Interpol -- who also helmed the band\'s previous album Geneva -- Russian Circles set out to experiment with their sound in new ways that would still reflect their live sound. In so doing, the band reached a new creative apex in which each of the musicians, guitarist Mike Sullivan, drummer Dave Turncrantz and bassist Brian Cook impart a streamlined and intensified attack to their songs that pummels even as it shifts throughout a range of moods and tempos.



The album opens with an imposing mechanical drone leading into funereal guitar notes that are abruptly interrupted by a propulsive drum beat as the proceedings of \"309\" erupt into something akin to an industrial revision of Celtic Frost. The song lunges through nearly 9 minutes of masterful rhythmic shifts and brutal guitar warfare with such assertive grace it sounds as though the band is throwing down a gauntlet defying all challengers. \"Mladek\" kicks off with the soaring notes of Sullivan\'s signature hammer-on guitar arpeggios as Cook\'s volume-swelling bass notes surge like bubbling molten lava. Turncrantz\'s innovative rephrasing of the drum pattern elevates the song as it slinks from part to part, guided by the syncopated chatter traded between chiming guitar notes and churning bass. Elsewhere, there are beautiful moments of melodic respite, helping to underscore the album\'s majestic strength. And, there may even be a few surprises awaiting within the album\'s six tracks. There are riffs, yes -- many of them. But, with Empros the entire band seems to be the embodiment of the riff itself.



Empros is Russian Circles\' first full-length to be released worldwide exclusively via Sargent House, the band\'s longtime management company and record label that had previously released only the vinyl editions of its three prior albums. It will be available everywhere on LP, CD and Digital Download on October 25th, 2011.
