Kevin Lawlor Organ Trio

About this event

Kevin Lawlor is a jazz drummer and bandleader in Wexford, Ireland and is the Director of Jazz and Drum Tutor at County Wexford School of Music. His recent album Stramash was released in 2020 to excellent reviews. For his inaugural trip to Scott’s Jazz Club, Lawlor will be joined by Scott Flanigan on Hammond organ and tbc on drums for promises to be a fantastic night of music.

“Stramash” represents another impressive offering from Lawlor and his young quintet, with each piece characterised by a strong narrative arc and plenty of variation in terms of colour, texture and dynamics. Jazz and rock influences combine effectively to create music that is fusion-esque, but without ever being ‘fusion’ in the old fashioned pejorative sense. It’s just good quality contemporary post bop jazz, played with skill and a youthful energy.
