Roamer: Lost Bees

Read "Lost Bees" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Roamer is vocalist Lauren Kinsella, drummer Matthew Jacobson, bassist/guitarist Simon Jermyn and saxophonist/flautist Matthew Halpin—four of Ireland's most lauded creative musicians. Formed in 2016, the quartet's activities have been frustratingly intermittent in the interim, though it is hardly surprising given that its members are based in London, Cologne, Berlin and Dublin. One early highlight came in 2017, when Roamer collaborated with Irish poet Cherry Smyth in an Arts Council-funded project at Bray Jazz Festival. That project has evolved to the ...

Daniel Rorke: Naked Allies

Read "Naked Allies" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Naked Allies is a two-horn, no-chord quartet, formed in 2018, that bridges the Atlantic. Dublin-based Australian Daniel Rorke and Dubliner Matthew Jacobson made the trek across the big pond in June that year to hook up with Oscar Noriega and electric bassist Simon Jermyn. The Irish connection runs deep, for Dublin was also home to Jermyn, who quit the Irish capital for New York in 2010. Prior to emigrating, Jermyn recorded Hymni (Diatribe Records, 2010), an impressive solo outing that ...

Simon Jermyn's Trot A Mouse: Pictorial Atlas of Mammals

Read "Pictorial Atlas of Mammals" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Nel peregrinare per il mondo di Simon Jermyn, bassista di Dublino da anni residente a Brooklyn, la permanenza in quel di Reykjavik, Islanda, ed il contatto con quella scena musicale, sembra aver esercitato una particolare influenza sul mondo musicale presente in Pictorial Atlas of Mammals. Già dai primi minuti emerge con chiarezza il pensiero che informerà l'intero album: estrema cura dell'ambientazione sonora, paesaggi mutevoli che si formano, si espandono, si sovrappongono e svaniscono, esplorazione dello spazio, un'aurea misteriosa che aleggia ...

Simon Jermyn: Trot A Mouse

Read "Trot A Mouse" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


An unusual but satisfying release, Trot A Mouse debuts the diverse ideas of electric bassist/composer, Simon Jermyn. Equally adept on guitar and bass, the Irish native is classically trained and lives in Dublin, Ireland. Travels have taken him to the Berklee College of Music in Boston on scholarship, The Hague, where he earned a Masters Degree in Jazz Performance, and Reykjavik, Iceland, where he lived for a year before releasing this recording. Jermyn's influences run the gamut--rock ...
