Master percussionist and musical visionary Marilyn Mazur is coming to Cork this October

Master percussionist and musical visionary Marilyn Mazur is coming to Cork this October. Presented by Music Network and Triskel Arts Centre in association with the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival, Marilyn brings her Marilyn Mazur Special 4 with her on their first visit to Ireland. Tickets for the concert in Triskel on Saturday 26 October at 2.30pm are €35/€32 and are on sale now from www.triskelartscentre.ie
 
A celebrated percussionist composer, bandleader and world music pioneer, Marilyn Mazur is noted for her work during the ‘80s as a touring member of the Tutu-era Miles Davis band, and through the ‘90s with Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek.
 
Tony Sheehan, Artistic Director at Triskel, said, “Marilyn has shared the stage with some of the most important figures in the history of jazz, having led many cutting-edge ensembles throughout her career and we look forward to bringing her and her Special 4 to Cork.”
 
With Mazur performing on a mesmerising array of gongs, bells and all things percussion, the Special 4 lineup is completed by Jakob Buchanan on flugelhorn, pianist Makiko Hirabayashi and Klavs Hovman on double bass. Together they will guide audiences into an adventurous world of multi-coloured moods, lively energies, dreamy soundscapes, strong melodies and lots of rhythm.
 
Other acts appearing at Triskel for the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival include Japanese trumpeter Takuya Kuroda, singer Stella Bass, and a concert featuring harpist Alina Bzhezhinska, composer and musician Brian Jackson and saxophonist Tony Kofi that celebrates the legacy of Alice Coltrane. The venue’s ongoing partnership with renowned jazz label ECM will also feature during the weekend and details of those concerts will be announced shortly.
 
Tickets are on sale now.
