Cork’s monthly improvised music event, Stet Lab, is thrilled to be
presenting the Cork debut of Belfast-based drummer, improviser and
composer Stephen Davis on Monday, 7 February 2011, upstairs at The
Roundy, Castle Street, Cork, Ireland.

Hailed by Jazzwise magazine as “a very empathetic performer with a
strong percussive voice”, Stephen Davis is a composer, performer, and
a rising star of the younger generation of alt. jazzers. Davis is best
know as a member of Bourne/Davis/Kane (with Matthew Bourne, Dave Kane)
whose records The Money Notes (FogHorn Records) was given four out of
five stars, and described as “an intelligent set, in which familiar
trio materials are cherished, polished and pared down” by John Fordham
in The Guardian. His other records include Moment To Moment (Slam
Productions) with Paul Dunmall, and Faint (Creative Sources
Recordings) with Franziska Schroeder and Pedro Rebelo.

Davis has performed with some of the best known names in jazz and
improvised music including Evan Parker, Joe Morris, Django Bates,
Brian Irvine, Reggie Washington, Tom Arthurs, Julian Seigal, Mike
Walker, Norma Winston, Rufus Reid and Mark Ribot. He has toured
extensively in Europe, America, Russia and elsewhere, and has written
music film, dance and theatre. In 2010 Davis helped to instigate the
Evan Parker-led 20-piece improvising ensemble as part of the
Sonorities Festival (Belfast), and in 2009 Davis was commission to
write an original work for the Belfast Festival.

Davis will be joined by Cork-based improvisers including guitarist,
and founder of Stet Lab and Mathilde 253, Han-earl Park. The event
will open with a performance by a trio of up-and-coming Cork-based
improvisers, The Real-Time Company (for the Ad-Hoc Association) Of,
consisting of vocalist Helena Reilly, guitarist Kevin Terry and
drummer Dan Walsh.

The event will begin at 9:00 pm (doors open at 8:45 pm) and entry is
€10 (€5).

Stet Lab will return in March 2011 for more real-time, on-stage
musical meetings!

Should be a good one. We hope to see y’all there! Han-earl, who will
be stepping down from curatorial duties with this event, would like to
thank everyone who supported the Lab over the last 3+ years!

Major thanks to Stephen Davis for taking time to visit. In the company
of this fine drummer and compelling thinker, the event was a very real
meeting of musical minds and bodies, and I think we’ve all been
transformed. Thanks also to The Real-Time Company (for the Ad-Hoc
Association) of… Helena Reilly, Kevin Terry and Dan Walsh, to everyone
else who performed (Jonathan Deasy, Tonynho Dos Santos, Tony O’Connor,
Han-earl Park, Colm Pattwell and Athoulis Tsiopani), and to the entire
backstage Lab crew including Veronica Tadman, Kevin, Tony, Athoulis
and photographer Julia Healy [see the photographs (new window)…]. See
