What began as a conversation between David Berkman the New York jazz pianist and Allen Smith over a cup of coffee in Dalkey village has come to fruition in this tour. David has visited  both Scotland  and Ireland  regularly over the past few years performing with outstanding exponents and now brings these musicians together.

Michael Buckley, Ireland's finest saxophonist and Sean Carpio,  the phenomenal Dublin drummer are the EIRE in AMEIRESCO.  Aidan O'Donnell, born in Ireland but living in Scotland is the Irish/Scottish link. Paul Bancroft and Paul Towndrow are the SCO in AMEIRESCO. Phil Bancroft is a multi reed player demonstrating his prowess on tenor, alto and soprano. Paul Towndrow on the other hand displays his skills on the alto. 

The unique quality of the AMEIRESCO Sextet is that the leader is an outstanding jazz composer and arranger.  David Berkman has been writing and performing his music and his recordings have showcased his writing skills.  Michael Buckley had his compositions first recorded on his debut album "Pendulum" and has been wiriting ever since. Phil Bancroft has been composing for some time whereas Paul Towndrow is a relatively new writer.  This tour will afford the Irish audiences an opportunity to hear these fine composers demonstrate their command of the classic jazz repertoire in this unusual jazz line-up.
