Suzanne Savage’s SuperSoup

About this event

Christian Altehülshorst (trumpet), Suzanne Savage (Voice), Scott Flanagan (Organ) and Dominic Mullan (Drums) mix it all up for one night only in Dublin - Monday 7th August at Arthur’s Bar.

Expect musical fireworks and at least one set of Galaxy-inspired leggings as visiting superstar German trumpeter, composer and band leader Christian Altehülshorst takes to the stage with a trio of leading lights from the Irish Jazz scene. Originals from Scott, Suzanne and Christian and some classics, because well - its Monday night. And we love Mondays.

Who:

Christian Altehülshorst (trumpet)

After a life-changing trip to New Orleans where he played the Jazz and Heritage festival with Fredy Omar, Christian quit in his 2nd year of a Cologne jazz trumpet degree - and has been on the road ever since. He has played in over 40 countries, touring notably with his main band the "Sazerac Swingers”, and regular work with the Sugaray Rayford band, Shadmehr Aghili and many more. Having Christian here in Dublin is a rare treat.

Suzanne Savage (Voice)

Described as ´one of Ireland´s hidden music heroes´ (BBC), charismatic vocalist, songwriter and violinist Suzanne Savage has worked with musical royalty across jazz, dance, singer-songwriter, choral, Irish and classical music. From touring Europe and U.S. as Priniciple Soprano Soloist with Riverdance, to a scholarship at Italian FABRICA MUSICA institute, she has made music internationally, including with Paul Brady, Elenor McEvoy, Roseanne Cash, Van Morrison, Jimmy Cobb, Ernie Watts Quartet, Gary Husband and emerging talent such as David Lyttle (UK), Markus Strothmann (GER) and the Matteo Addabbo Organ Trio (IT).

She was awarded the N.Ireland Arts Council SIAP for work on her critically acclaimed solo album ´Jellymould’, and her most recent project, The Savage Five, for voice and string 4tet, has recently recorded their evocative debut album “Sleepwalking," and been nominated for the 2016 German Record Critics’ Awards (Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik). They are signed to German label Herbie Martin Music. The quintet are to embark on their first full Irish Tour in Autumn 2017. Its all about the voice with this one.

Scott Flanigan

is one of the foremost keyboard players on the Irish jazz scene. He performs both locally and nationally, and has recently performed with Van Morrison, the Ulster Orchestra, Larry Coryell, Jean Toussaint, Jim Mullen, Linley Hamilton. A keen composer and arranger, Scott received his Masters Degree in jazz performance with First Class Honours from Dublin Institute of Technology. Boom.

Dominic Mullan

Drummer Dominic Mullan is a stalwart of the Irish music jazz scene, and one of the most in demand players. Equally at home working with new talent, Dominic’s C.V. reads like a who’swho of jazz royalty - from playing with everyone from our own legendary Louis Stewart to Nigel Mooney, Linley Hamilton, Mary Coughlan, the Ulster Orchestra, and many of the best visiting jazz acts have used Dominic in their rhythm section. He’s also a lovely guy.
