Bio:
The individual members of Origin Story (formerly F-JoB – Felton, Jacobson and OBrien) have been at the forefront of many of the most artistically and commercially successful projects in creative Irish music over the last fifteen years. In this piano trio setting they combine their shared interests in the traditions of jazz, their ability to freely interpret challenging harmonic and rhythmic material and their open-minded, inclusive vision of the music they perform.
They have already had several critically successful performances, including at the Galway Jazz Festival – about which All About Jazz magazine stated: “F-JoB is a trio with bags of personality, where virtuoso playing is tempered by rich rhythmic textures strong melodies and a soulful collective voice”.
Their debut album will be released later in 2020.
Greg Felton - piano
Cormac OBrien - double bass
Matthew Jacobson - drums
