Thursday 12th March, The Sugar Club, Dublin
Loren Stillman (Saxophone), Sean Carpio (Drums), Joachim Badenhorst (Clarinet), Simon Jermyn (Guitar / Electric Bass)
"Guitarist Simon Jermyn is definitely one of the stars of the future. His recent projects have revealed a subtle, restless musical mind, and the strength and sense of purpose to lead innovative bands." Cormac Larkin, The Sunday Tribune
Trot A Mouse is the debut release and lead project from Dublin-based electric bassist/guitarist/composer Simon Jermyn. 2007 saw the band release the eponymous debut on the prestigious Fresh Sound New Talent label - the imprint that launched Brad Mehldau and The Bad Plus. The release signals the emergence of a major contemporary jazz talent.
Jermyn's music is world where influences collide: folky melodies, grooves in changing meters, soundscapes and some unexpected changes in direction. Trot A Mouse is also a remarkable band featuring Jermyn, the fast-emerging New York saxophone star Loren Stillman who has recently released the acclaimed Blind Date (Pirouet), the prodigious Sean Carpio and Danish clarinettist Joachim Badenhorst.
Simon Jermyn has played guitar and bass since a young age. He performs equally as an electric bassist and guitarist. His work very often also makes use of effects and electronics to sample and manipulate in real time, aswell as incorporating field recordings. He has performed and recorded with musicians including Chris Speed, Loren Stillman, Hilmar Jensson and Ronan Guilfoyle.
Alto saxophonist Loren Stillman has an amazingly creative head on his shoulders: he makes music that is so absorbingly different as evidenced on his latest release, Blind Date (Pirouet). He has played with Charlie Haden, Dave Liebman, and John Abercrombie. He names Lee Konitz and Wayne Shorter as musical influences, but along with them he also counts Hungarian composer Béla Bartók and the master of many styles, Frank Zappa.
Sean Carpio is widely regarded as Ireland's finest drummer and one of our most unique talents. With his collective groups acclaimed White Rocket and Red Rocket (which also features Jermyn) he has built a reputation as one of the most innovative and exciting talents to emerge from these shores. The group is completed by frequent Han Bennink and Hilmar Jensson collaborator, Joachim Badenhorston clarinet.
