Scott's Jazz Club Presents: Charlie Moon Trio

About this event

Charlie Moon is an Irish jazz guitarist, singer and composer based in Dublin. He is the son of jazz singer Mia Parsons and legendary blues and jazz guitarist and singer Nigel Mooney, “Ireland’s King of the blues” according to the BBC.

He was exposed to a variety of music at an early age and on the night he was born, his father played support to B.B. King in the old stadium in Dublin with his then famous ‘Gripewater Blues Band’, so Charlie’s genes were steeped in the blues and jazz traditions from day one.

In 2016 he graduated from Newpark Music School with an honours degree in Jazz Performance, graduating top of his class in ear training and transcription. Here he refined his compositional skills and in 2018, he was nominated for best original score at the Kerry Film Festival for the short film “Ask Me Now” inspired by the Thelonious Monk composition.

He has since undertaken a masters programme in jazz performance in D.I.T. under the study of legendary guitarist Mike Nielsen and has been frequenting New York to take lessons from such masters of the guitar as Adam Rogers, Nir Felder, Yotam Silberstein and Gilad Hekselman.

For this outing at Scott’s Jazz Club, Charlie will be joined by Scott Flanigan on organ and Andrew McCoubrey on drums.
