Jazz at the International Bar

Jazz at the International Bar Jazz, soul and funk from some of Dublin's finest jazzers. The music is always fresh and exciting, the crowds adoring and warm.

The International jazz sessions have been running for a number of years and feature some of Ireland's leading talent in jazz and improvised music. Groups led by Cote Calmet, Sean Maynard Smith, Dominic Mullan, Paddy Groenland, Georgia Cusack & Alex Mathias are regular features with occasional guest players and bands from all over. A number of regulars have accumulated over the years so we've got a

bit of a family thing going at this stage which we'd like to welcome you into! The perfect spot for music lovers or "quiet pints". Things can certainly get pumping depending on who's up to play however and if there's room we always like to see folks up showing appreciation through a little boogie! If you haven't checked us out yet, we apologise for your loss! Not to worry, these things are easily fixed! Come join us any Tuesday or Thursday night! Keep an eye out here for updates on who's playing! A cheap night out too... no entry fee, HOWEVER, the stellar musicians don't get paid so we pass round a jar for tips, recommended donation is 5e but any contribution is very much appreciated in order to help cover transport costs, pints, etc. Spread the love and it comes right back!

we are glad to present a very special concert with ITALIAN BARITONE SAX ANDREA ABBADIA & IRISH TRIO.

15/05/2025

📣 On Thursday 15th of May we present a VERY SPECIAL CONCERT with Italian Baritone Sax Player
‘GERRY MULLIGAN, BALLAD & LOVE SONGS’ with
ANDREA ABBADIA & IRISH TRIO

LINEUP:
Andrea Abbadia - Baritone Sax

Chris Guilfoyle - Guitar

Cormac O’Brien - Bass

Dominic Mullan - Drums

Guest: .annibali.music on vocals

‘Andrea Abbadia’s homage to GERRY MULLIGAN is not only a tribute to the great saxophonist, but a revival of cool jazz, which, while making some of the acquisitions of the revolutionary bebop its own, provides a more relaxed version, in some ways singable, devoid of some harmonic harshness and with less convoluted melodic lines, with not a few references to classical music. The performance favors the tempos and the middle registers and creates atmospheres that are sometimes very rarefied: the rhythm sections weave soft and swinging carpets for the improvisations of the soloists who, seem to want to “discuss” in a calm way around an interesting topic. While maintaining the typical energy of boppers, the performance does not flaunt the extraordinary technical qualities of the musicians, but is in favor of the construction of singable melodic lines, concealing the signs of fatigue and effort. It is a style that rediscovers the melodic content of jazz, and prefers a more relaxed dimension of rhythms. Most of the pieces are from the repertoire of the Gerry Mulligan quartet, the choice to include the guitar gives the concert that necessary character of modernity. Playing this repertoire with Irish local musicians is stimulating and productive, and gives the concert the international and liberating character that jazz can give.
The quartet will also enrich their repertoire of the night with some original compositions.’
