Join us on Thursday, May 11th, for a VERY SPECIAL CONCERT featuring Italian Baritone Saxophonist @andreabbadia, visiting Dublin once a year for the past three years. He’ll present his captivating project:

‘GERRY MULLIGAN, BALLAD & LOVE SONGS’
Performed with ANDREA ABBADIA & IRISH TRIO

🌟 Guest Vocalist: @luisa.annibali.music

Andrea Abbadia’s tribute to Gerry Mulligan is more than a homage—it's a revival of cool jazz. While embracing bebop’s innovations, it offers a relaxed, melodic, and atmospherically rich experience, blending classical influences with jazz improvisation. The performance emphasizes middle registers, gentle tempos, and a conversational approach to improvisation, creating a unique, soothing jazz atmosphere.

Most pieces are from Mulligan’s iconic quartet, with the addition of guitar adding a modern touch. Playing this repertoire alongside Irish musicians brings an exciting, international flavor, and the quartet will also perform original compositions.
