Improvised Music Company presents: CEO Experiment Featuring Richie Buckley & Brian Dunning at The Peacock Theatre

STRUT at the Peacock:
CEO Experiment Featuring Richie Buckley & Brian Dunning
Tickets €15

“Such stage-crafted intimacy translates into electrifying interplay and intuitive, free-wheeling improvisation” - All About Jazz

Combining a certain youthful vigour with two undisputed elder statesmen of the Irish jazz scene, we have another presentation specially devised for STRUT. Piano trio, The CEO Experiment, have been making waves here in Ireland in the past 2 years, garnering praise for their highly creative improvisations and their tighter than tight sound world. Elements of Post-bop and contemporary jazz are channelled through original compositions as well as their inventive take on traditional standards, serving as a vehicle for high-energy interplay. Le Cool have labeled them “One of the most exciting up-an-coming artists in the country”. While recording their debut album in Michael Buckley’s Dublin studio, Michael wanted in and the piano trio became a quartet. They will be joined for this special performance by another Buckley that needs little introduction. Tenor saxophonist, Richie Buckley is “something of a genius, with a world reputation among saxophonists” according to the Irish Times. And rounding out this quintet with aplomb is flautist Brian Dunning who is no stranger to the Peacock Stage, having played on numerous occasions throughout the 70’s and early 80’s. ...

And rounding out this quintet with aplomb is flautist Brian Dunning who is no stranger to the Peacock Stage, having played on numerous occasions throughout the 70’s and early 80’s. 

Collectively this quintet will strut their stuff, dipping into material from 'Alone Together' as well as a collective wealth of original material.

Regrettably the original programme of Louis Stewart and Brian Dunning with bassist Dan Bodwell had to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and has been replaced with this exciting collaboration. Brian Dunning will now be joined on stage by saxophonist Richie Buckley and the innovative piano trio The CEO Experiment (feat. Cote Calmet, Leopoldo Osio and Peter Erdei) playing select material from Stewart & Dunning’s “Alone Together” album, in addition to original material from Buckley, Dunning and CEO Experiment.
