about

Boylan | Buckley | Evans Trio

Although the members of this trio have all known each other for a long time and indeed played with each other in various line-ups, the Boylan | Buckley | Evans trio came about as a result of a year we spent as mature students on a Masters course in Music in Dublin. The initial idea was to get together as a unit and exchange ideas, but it quickly became apparent that the line-up was something we enjoyed immensely and we felt an instant rapport developed within the trio. The chemistry between the group was given wings to evolve with a regular residency that began in a fantastic jazz venue in Howth, Dublin called CIBO Bar & Grill which continues to thrive at the time of recording this album.

The drummer-less trio is somewhat of a rarity these days in jazz. Although once the norm with the likes of the Nat King Cole and Oscar Peterson trios, it lost popularity in the ‘50s and since then the drums and double bass have became the de facto members of the jazz trio, alongside either the piano or guitar. Since then, It has remained this way with few exceptions. While the format throws up a number of challenges both rhythmically and harmonically, it also offers a rich textural palette to work within that can be very rewarding to both player and listener.

When making this album, we aimed to capture the essence of the group as it is in a live environment, and we had a great time during the process. We hope you enjoy listening to this album as much as we did recording it.
...Cian, Damian and Hugh (January 2010)
