Very nice piece of, if you don't mind me, chamber folk...! :)

And this jazzy intro section, xylophone, clarinet and free reeds - unique and lovely!

wonderful swinging , I also like the jazzy ingredients

wonderful lilting tune with jazz undertones

almost sounds african sometimes. great stuff

reminds me of PCO, taking traditional sounds a step further

Drawing on the hypnotic repetition of minimalism and the organic improvisatory spirit of jazz, the music of Ensemble Ériu weaves a rich acoustic tapestry around Irish traditional melodies. Developed by concertina player Jack Talty and double bassist and flute player Neil O’ Loghlen, Ensemble Ériu brings together a chamber ensemble of some of Ireland’s most exciting young musicians from a range of performance backgrounds. The result is a unique combination of the fresh and familiar, a soundscape that is creatively progressive yet rooted in tradition. Following a rousing reception at their debut gig at the Galway Jazz Festival in October 2012, Ensemble Ériu plan to tour Ireland throughout 2014.

Featuring
Jack Talty – concertina, bass concertina & electronics
Neil O’ Loghlen – double bass, flute & whistle

With:
Matthew Jacobson – marimba & drums
Matthew Berrill - clarinet, bass clarinet
Úna McGinty – violin & viola
Jeremy Spencer – fiddle
Paddy Groenland – guitar
Sam Perkin – piano
Colm O’ Hara – trombone

The Tempest

Ensemble Ériu, a septet led by Jack Talty and Neil O’Loghlen draw on a wealth of creative sources to perform arrangements of Irish traditional music rooted in the styles of West and North County Clare. The group brings together a chamber ensemble of some of Ireland’s most exciting young musicians from a range of performance backgrounds. The result is a unique combination of the fresh and familiar, a soundscape that is creatively progressive, yet rooted in tradition.
