Following their critically acclaimed debut release ‘Odd Set’, and their sensational closing night show at Bray Jazz last year, Yurodny are back by popular demand.
Yurodny in bygone days were nomadic bards who collectively embodied the folk music of ancient Russia, similar to the travelling musicians of Irish folklore.
The Dublin-based present day Yurodny celebrate the rich musical tradition of the Balkans, and the infectious rhythms and melodies of Eastern Europe.
A collective of eight European musicians based in Ireland, Yurodny’’s unusual but highly effective palette of two violins, cello, double bass, saxophone, accordion, trombone and drums doffs its cap to the angular line ups of New York's downtown scene, but bittersweet melodies and infectious Balkan rhythms put paid to the notion that this is an exercise in heavily coded materials.
Yurodny take you down the road less traveled, borrowing freely from the rich traditions of Eastern Europe's gypsy and Jewish diasporas with their own Irish jazz flavour.
