The Johnny Taylor Trio – Night One of June Jazz
June 28 @ 19:30 - 22:00
Friday June 28th at 7.30pm, with doors opening at 7.00pm.
The Johnny Taylor Trio, named after one of the finest jazz pianists on the Irish music scene. The trio is one of the most sought after by jazz venues and festivals at home and abroad. No strangers to Jazz at Johnstown audiences, Johnny, Barry Donohoe (double bass) and Dominic Mullan (drums), will open this year’s Jazz at Johnstown Festival. The concert will take place at the Visitors Centre on Friday evening, June 28 at the earlier time of 7.30pm.
This is a trio whose integrated and disciplined interplay can achieve things a jazz piano trio isn’t supposed to. This endears them to jazz and non-jazz fans alike. The level of invention achieved by exploring fresh and new sources of repertoire – no bullish pyrotechnics – is always challenging and never less than communal.
The level of invention they achieve creates a musical experience that you won’t forget easily! An evening with the Johnny Taylor Trio at Johnstown castle is one in which the band and the audience join together in intimacy and energy.
