City of Derry Jazz & Big Band Festival

Spotlight on Jazz
Linley Hamilton Quintet
Returning as part of their Irish Tour, the
band has reassembled to record a new
album in early May, a follow-up to their
hugely successful ‘For the Record’, which
spent ten weeks in the US Jazzweek charts
and amassed critical acclaim worldwide.
The band is made up of Adam Nussbaum,
drums, Mark Egan bass, Cian Boylan piano,
Derek ‘DOC’ O’Connor sax and Linley
Hamilton trumpet. As an ensemble, they
combine beautifully and create a musical
narrative that had packed houses in Dublin,
Moscow and Cork rising to their feet in
standing ovation in 2020…Expect more of
the same this time and book early so as not
to be disappointed!
