Martin Vallely releases “Debut”
Cork based Irish composer Martin Vallely’’s new release “Debut” is a charm. This nine song album recorded in Amsterdam shows off Vallely’’s jazz songwriting for the first time with great results.
From the fun Circus Waltz to the haunting June Light this CD introduces a new force in Irish jazz. Backed by the talents of Mark Reinke - piano, rhodes and organ; Natalio Sued - tenor sax; Uli Genenger - drums and percussion, Martin’’s bass playing lays down a velvety carpet for the songs and musicians to lift from. All in all a fine debut with
great promise for the future and another example of Cork and Ireland’’s burgeoning jazz scene.
With an Irish tour planned for 2006, the
Martin Vallely Quartet should be high on any jazz lovers list of new talent to hear and see.
Martin can be reached via email at martinvallely@yahoo.co.uk for information about upcoming gigs and where to purchase the new CD.
