Hayley Kavanagh Quintet
Doors 7:30pm/Music 8:00pm
"Her sound is big and warm, her language firmly rooted in the swinging hard-bop and post-bop traditions of Sonny Rollins and Joe Henderson."- All About Jazz
Hayley Kavanagh is a Dublin-based saxophonist and flautist who’s become an active player on the Irish jazz scene since returning last year after a number of years living and performing in Prague and Berlin.
Since returning home she’s contributed as a sideman in various collaborative projects, and established her own ensembles. She’s also the co-founder of the Arthur’s Jazz Jam in the popular city venue, Arthur’s Blues & Jazz Club, and curates the Jazz Event Guide ‘Cookin’ Dublin’.
Join Hayley for an evening of hard-bop and post-bop influenced original tunes, along with a selection of tunes from some of her biggest influences from the hard bop era, such as Joe Henderson and Hank Mobley. Expect sinuous solos, swinging grooves and agile rhythmic interplay.

Additional Information
The Cooler
The Cooler is located upstairs at The Complex Arts Centre, 12 Mary's Abbey Dublin 7. The entrance to The Cooler is through the same door as The Depot at The Complex, on the Mary's Abbey side of the building, where the LUAS tracks run. The building has a red wall on the left hand side of a front plaza that has a sign reading 'The Complex', and a blue wall facing the front plaza that has a sign reading 'The Complex - Art Lives Here'.
The plaza in front of The Complex is used by the surrounding businesses and during the day is often full of fruits, vegetables or delivery vehicles. You can still access The Cooler at these times.
Above the small blue artists' door, you'll see a painted sign for The Cooler (in black) and the Depot (in white). The Cooler is also marked by a small sign between the main glass doors (sometimes covered by blue shutters) and a blue artist's door. The glass doors will be open for performances from door times (usually 7:30pm).
The Cooler cannot be accessed from the Arran St East side of The Complex - this is the entry for the Gallery and artist studios only. If you have any trouble locating the Cooler please give Caitriona a call on 087 783 3391.
