In this edition I try to explore the influence of Jazz on our state of mind and I try to bring you into some JAZZ MOOD, the artistic and improvisational mood of some of the greatest musicians of its genre expressed in music, exploring the interpretation of Duke Ellington, Nina Simone, Mulgrew Miller, Niels-Henning Oerstedt Pedersen, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Mark Murphy, King Pleasure, James Moody, Yusef Lateef, Anat Cohen, Fred Hersch and others.

Jazz Ireland rolls out the first phase of a Directory of Resources for the Irish jazz community. The directory will provide the location and pertinent information for any venue, studio, organisation and school that has supported Irish Jazz. First and foremost, I would like to thank Jennifer McMahon for her dedication to this project, from the very beginning she was always on hand to help get this directory online.
Phase 1
The first phase of the directory will contain information for Arts Centres and Cultural Centres across Ireland as I feel there is a good chance that these locations will still remain open after Covid-19 and when live music returns to our stages and lives. The directory listings will have photos, contact information, descriptions, links, opening hours and you can even search on a map if you prefer.
