Signal Series March: Jermyn-carpio Duo | Tom Caraher Band at Arthur's Blues and Jazz

Irish bassist, guitarist and composer Simon Jermyn, a staple Brooklyn NY creative music scene for the past 7 years, is in town to record a new duo record with one of Ireland's most respected drummers, Sean Carpio.

Here he leads his own quartet made up of some of Cork's finest players for a contemporary jazz set steeped in groove and inflected with this saxophonist's many travels....
