Limerick Jazz presents a compelling double bill celebrating the depth and diversity of Ireland's contemporary jazz scene.
The John Donegan Quintet brings together an exceptional lineup of leading jazz musicians to celebrate the release of John Donegan's latest album, Interfuse. Featuring legendary saxophonist Richie Buckley, trumpeter Steve Waterman, bassist Bernard O'Neill, and drummer John Daly, the quintet combines lyrical original compositions, dynamic improvisation, and masterful interplay.
Drawing inspiration from the great piano trio tradition while embracing a modern jazz aesthetic, Donegan's music is both expressive and deeply engaging.
