Ebb and Flow is the new and entirely original project and album from the Dublin saxophonist and his wonderful trio of: Greg Felton (piano), Barry Donohue (bass) and Shane O’Donovan (drums). Its nine titles are modern, tender, and exciting, featuring daring up-tempo post-bop tunes, beautiful ballads, and free improvisations.
Michael is recognised as the leading contemporary Irish jazz musician and a phenomenal tenor player who is also in demand as producer and arranger. He has collaborated and toured with The Mingus Big Band and Septet, saxophonists Dave Liebman, Lee Konitz, and George Coleman; guitarists Kurt Rosenwinkel and John Abercrombie, pianists Jason Moran, Edward Simon and Jason Rebello, drummers Joey Baron, Lewis Nash and Jim Black, trumpeter Colin Steele, percussionist Badal Roy, bassist Ronan Guilfoyle and many more.

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 blue door, you'll see a painted sign for The Depot. The Cooler is 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.
