Their music implicitly addresses that in the way it melds and weaves disparate approaches, this unlikely pairing of roots and avant-garde with such magical élan as to make theirs seem like the most natural coming together in the world. Take “The Roscommon” with its atonal plucking, irregular rhythms, Irish traditional music taken to the outer reaches where the spirits of Schoenberg and Sun Ra play with Seán Ó Riada and Tommie Potts - and feeling entirely at home in those realms. At once earthy and unearthly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jazz Scotland","offers":[{"title":"General Admission","offer_id":58745129861501,"sku":"2833096","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Student","offer_id":58745129894269,"sku":"2833097","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/0830\/7862\/files\/corastrio.jpg?v=1790241975","url":"https:\/\/jazzscotland.com\/products\/coras-trio","provider":"Jazz Scotland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
