About

Formed by drummer Art Blakey in the 1950s as a collective, The Jazz Messengers occupies a special place in the annals of Jazz music in the twentieth century.

The music of Art Blakeyโ€™s Jazz Messengers โ€“ the tightly arranged horn section, the hard-swinging rhythm section, the scorching solos โ€“ is classic jazz at its most exhilarating.

The Hibernian Improvisers Pool (HIP) is a new repertory ensemble featuring some of Ireland foremost jazz musicians which has been set up specifically to explore the music of jazzโ€™s classic period in the 1950s and 1960s.

The group includes Australian saxophonist Daniel Rorke, trombonist Colm Oโ€™Hara, trumpeter Bill Blackmore, pianist Scott Flanigan, bassist Cormac O Brien and drummer Kevin Brady. Drawn from all over Ireland, together these marvellous musicians have racked up appearances with everyone from Van Morrison and Paul Brady to jazz legends like Larry Coryell and Ian Shaw....
