Description:
A one-of-a-kind improvised musical meeting between artists from
Ireland based overseas, and a then Ireland-based artist from abroad
which took place on April 4, 2011 at The Roundy, Cork, Ireland.
This was a rare performance in Ireland by Catherine Sikora (New York-
based, originally from West Cork), a saxophonist with a striking,
compelling sound. She has been described as “a free-blowing player’s
player with a spectacular harmonic imagination and an evolved
understanding of the tonal palette of the saxophone” (Chris Elliot,
Seacoast Online). Sikora was joined by cofounder of the London
Improvisers’ Orchestra, trumpeter Ian Smith (London-based, from
Dublin), and guitarist Han-earl Park (then Cork-based, currently
Brooklyn-based, from California). Smith and Park had just come off the
tour as part of the power-trio Mathilde 253 (with Charles Hayward)
with the legendary composer-improviser Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith.
