"This trio is one which, given the chance, could make its mark on the international jazz scene." - The Irish Times

In 2005 two Dubliners, pianist Greg Felton and drummer Sean Carpio met New York trumpeter Jacob at Banff Centre for Jazz & Creative Music and not for the first time, the famous Canadian artistic retreat has been the catalyst for a memorable first contact. Trumpet, piano and drums may seem an unwieldy combination, but in this music, its personality that counts, and White Rocket have it in abundance. That, and a shared love of the rhythmic systems of India’s carnatic music and everything from Nick Drake and Hindemith to Autechre and Meshuggah. These influences are not overt, but do offer compelling evidence of open musical minds at work. Comfortable and self assured with the contemporary jazz idiom, and yet liberated from it, the creative axis is in constant movement between this triad of young musicians.

Watch out for our upcoming EP!

Message for Sean. Sean, this is johnny. Hi. I need an amp for my keyboard for the gig on Friday night. Any suggestions as to someone I can loan one from?
From Johnny...for Sean. Sean Carpio. I think he's one of the pistons in the rocket. Failing that he may be in the carborater.

Thanks for the invitation guys, but won't be able to make it to Bray. Great to hear young players on the leading edge of improvised music in the Dubs though!
Every success with your music..

Guys, your music is amazing, fresh, innovative, rhythmic and your performance is high quality. Where can one purchase a CD? and, when are you coming to New York City? And, if one comes to Ireland, where do you perform? Nora McCarthy

always a sucker for a flower....thats me.....I noticed you liked Daniel Johnston so I thought I'd point you in the direction of the UK alt. country/acoustic group Quarter-Pounder. If you think Daniel has had it hard, listen to this. Quarter-Pounder have battled homelessness, insanity, amputations, divorces, crippling obesity, prison and countless odd, horrible day jobs and while this is reflected in their songs, they're still very easy on the ear. Maybe you know of them already? One of their fans has set up a web site where you can download a bunch of their songs for free at www.quarter-pounder.co.uk....and I think they're also on myspace...Check it out...

It's nice to hear you in your element. Please keep me posted on gigs in the NYC area. It would be great to hear you live.

We must play soon!
