Aengus Hackett Trio

Galway guitarist and composer Aengus Hackett has honed his creative voice for many years in collaborations with the cream of Ireland’s jazz scene. This is brought to the fore in his debut trio album featuring two of the country’s finest improvisers, Derek Whyte and Matthew Jacobson. Between them these seasoned performers have worked with leading international artists such as Kit Downes (UK), Ralph Alessi (US), Sanem Kalfa (TUR), and Irish stalwarts such as Mike Nielsen, Ronan Guilfoyle and Dirty Jazz Club. Combining elements of jazz, rock and electronica, the eleven tracks of the album display Hackett’s diversity as a composer.
