UCC Concert Series presents a free concert by celebrated saxophonist
and piper Paul Dunmall on Friday, 6 November 2009 at 1:10 pm in the Ó
Riada Hall, UCC Department of Music, Sundays Well, Cork. Performing
with guitarist Han-earl Park, the event will mark Dunmall’s first
performance on the bagpipes in the Republic of Ireland.
Paul Dunmall is a heavy-hitter within the international jazz and
improvised music scenes. Seen by many as the foremost virtuoso
technician of the saxophone, he is also a piper, and a pioneer of the
outer-reaches of that instrument. For three decades Dunmall has amazed
audiences as an imaginative, iconoclast soloist and a sensitive and
outstanding collaborator.
Immersed in Jazz and Folk traditions, Dunmall has performed with a
myriad of musicians including Alice Coltrane, Johnny Guitar Watson,
Andrew Cyrille, Henry Grimes, Evan Parker, Hamid Drake, Danny
Thompson, Paul Rogers, Barry Guy and Keith Tippett. He has worked in
ensembles such as the illustrious Globe Unity Orchestra, the London
Jazz Composers Orchestra, the Birmingham Improvisers’ Orchestra and
Elton Dean’s highly influential ensembles in addition to his own
groups such as the Paul Dunmall Quartet and the Paul Dunmall Octet.
His recordings have been released by HatHut Records, Intakt, FMR, SLAM
Productions, ECM and his own Duns Limited Edition.
Improviser-guitarist Han-earl Park has performed in Denmark, England,
Ireland, The Netherlands, Scotland and the USA, and appeared at
festivals including Sonic Acts (Amsterdam), the Center for Experiments
in Art, Information and Technology Festival (California), dialogues
festival (Edinburgh), Sonorities (Belfast) and VAIN Live Art (Oxford).
Park is involved in ongoing collaborations with Bruce Coates, and with
Franziska Schroeder, fifteen year long associations with Alex Fiennes
and Murray Campbell, and has performed with Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith,
George E. Lewis, J. D. Parran, Pauline Oliveros, Kato Hideki, Mark
Sanders, Chick Lyall, Jan Langedijk, Stu Ritchie, Koen Nutters, Pedro
Rebelo, Elspeth Murray, Mark Trayle and Hannes Raffaseder. Park is
founder and curator of Stet Lab, a monthly improvised music space in
Cork, and teaches improvisation at the UCC Department of Music.
The CD ‘Live at the Glucksman Gallery’ by Dunmall, Park, drummer Mark
Sanders and guitarist Jamie Smith was recently released by Owlhouse
Recordings.
The event will begin at 1:10 pm and admission is free.
