Jamel Franklin is a Dublin based Rapper and Songwriter from Miami, . Born to a Guyanese mother and a Jamaican father, Jamel's culturally diverse background is as much a part of his music as it is a part of him. From rapping and rhyming in highschool hallways in South Florida to headlining gigs and festivals across Ireland alongside jazz/hiphop band Shy Mascot, Jamel models a musical craft that is reflective of time, place, and culture. His laidback flows and esoteric lyrics are the creative product of his real life experiences, often from the fresh perspective of an outsider.

International guest vocalist/oboist Jelena Soro from Serbia, Danny Groenland with his new acclaimed album, Aleka Potinga promoting her new EP of Romanian traditional music and rising star JaYne playing songs from her debut solo album, together they all promise an amazing end of the year for The Dublin Jazz Co-op.

Jennifer, our podcast producer is super excited to curate the series again. She is not only an amazing musician but also a key figure in our jazz scene, her work with 'Irish Women in Jazz', promoting female musicians and their music through concerts and their stories through the Irish Women in Jazz podcasts, has turned out to be one of the most exciting initiatives in Irish jazz right now.

Next at the Jazz Co-op: SELK

SELK are the alt-folk ensemble spearheaded by lead vocalist/songwriter Anna Jordan. Their sound weaves between genres, drawing on jazz, classical, electronica, avant-folk, ambient rock, classical and more. SELK’s otherworldly sound juxtaposes Jordan’s stark, emotionally raw lyrics and hypnotic acoustic with percussive grooves from Cassidy and the band. The group’s expanded line-up, featuring Barry Brady on guitar and Dave Redmond on bass, has added a powerful rhythm section that has transformed their sound since their debut album ‘Beast’, which was recorded as a duo (Anna Jordan and Dennis Cassidy).

SELK's new album, Shed The Skin is out now! In addition to the core band, 'Shed The Skin' also features stunning string arrangements performed by cellist Kate Ellis and violinist Cora Venus Lunny (Crash Ensemble) scored by Judith Ring.

SELK released their debut album Beast in 2016, described by Hot Press as " …an atmospheric, evocative, and at times, sinister collection. Beast is well worth grappling with.". In 2020 Anna released two singles under the SELK moniker in collaboration with Oscar nominated composer Javier Navarrete (Pan's Labyrinth), 'Moments' and 'Silent Sea'. Further collaborations between Anna and Javier are in the works, with a plan to release the compositions early next year.

'It's clear when listening to 'Moments' that it was crafted by two artists who are incredible at their craft. The track is studded with dark imagery, and the inherent theatricality in Jordan's fluttering vibrato calls back to the golden age of Hollywood.'(Hotpress)
