"This is gripping music by a subtle and adventurous trio."
CD Review in Irish Times. Sep 12 2008.
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.
White Rocket:
- were presented in the Irish Times as one of the Jazz highlights of 2006
- toured Ireland in 2006 and 2008, the US in 2009
- performed a concert including an extended commissioned piece written by the pianist Felton at the Living Music Festival in Dublin Feb 2007
- represented Ireland in the EuroJazz Festival in Mexico City in March 2007 -performed at the 12 Points Festival in Dublin May 07
- played support to Dave Douglas in the Bray Jazz Festival in May 07 in Ireland...

I know I start training for my teaching position on the 6th and it will be ongoing for a few more months but hopefully we can work something out. the extra coin i make from taking those paid surveys online helps out alot tho; you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
