DESCRIPTION: Doors 7:30pm/Music 8:00pm \n\n Tommy Halferty's Whirlpool Grou
 p play 'In a Silent Way' by Miles Davis. \n\n Released in 1969\, In a Sile
 nt Way marked a pivotal moment in jazz history\, introducing a fusion of j
 azz\, rock\, and ambient sounds. Featuring an all-star lineup—including 
 Wayne Shorter\, Chick Corea\, Herbie Hancock\, John McLaughlin\, and Joe Z
 awinul - the album is a masterclass in mood and texture. With its electric
  instrumentation and atmospheric approach\, In a Silent Way laid the found
 ation for the jazz fusion movement\, influencing generations of musicians.
  \n\n Throughout his rich and varied career Tommy Halferty’s signature g
 uitar sound\, tonally heavy\, brimming with juicy bebop lines and fat chor
 dal arrangements has been instrumental in shaping the sound of the Irish j
 azz. \n\n Dublin has always been a ‘guitar town’ with influences from 
 the late great Louis Stewart defining generations of guitar players. The s
 ame can be said for Halferty who has been equally influential as a guitari
 st but also as a composer\, educator and mentor to many Irish musicians ov
 er the years. \n\n Halferty’s professional career began in the late 70
 ’s\, when he featured in jazz fusion bands like ‘Jump’ &amp\; ‘Nun
 n’. From the off\, Halferty wove in classical\, folk\, Irish traditional
  and rock influences\, distilling it into his own unique jazz signature\, 
 something that remains a hallmark of his playing to this day. \n\n A longe
 r trio stint in the mid ‘80’s with drummer John Wadham and bassist Ron
 an Guilfoyle cemented his reputation as a world class guitarist. He has sh
 ared stages with international jazz luminaries such as Lee Konitz\, Benny 
 Golson\, Ronnie Cuber\, George Mraz\, Dave Liebman and vocalist Norma Wins
 tone. \n\n Tommy's Whirlpool Group features an array of luminous Irish pla
 yers including Darragh O'Kelly on keys\, Cormac O'Brien on bass\, and Bren
 dan Doherty on drums\, bringing a wealth of musicality to their take on Da
 vis' seminal record. \n
