Caili O’Doherty Quartet “Suite for Gearoidin” — live event
“Suite for Gearoidin” is O’Doherty’s most recent body of work, honoring her mother. It’s a 13-part suite featuring her quartet: Tamir Shmerling (bass), Cory Cox (drums), and Nicole Glover (saxophones). “Suite for Gearoidin” by Caili O’Doherty and the Caili O’Doherty Quartet has been made possible with support from Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works program funded through the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. New York-based pianist, composer, arranger and educator, Caili O’Doherty (pronounced “KAY-lee” “oh-DOE-er-tee”), is known for integrating structures of language in both her compositions and her approach to improvisation. O’Doherty has received national awards for piano performance and composition from the ASCAP Foundation and Downbeat Magazine. Praised by All About Jazz for its “exquisitely forged, dramatic and darkly hued pieces”, O’Doherty’s debut release Padme (2015) uses lyrics to give the melodies a natural rhythm of language. Padme was selected as a Downbeat Magazine Editor’s pick and received a 4-star review in All About Jazz. The latest release from O’Doherty is Quarantine Dream (Posi-Tone Records 2022). The album release was followed by a U.S. CD release tour with support from a Jazz Road grant from South Arts. The Caili O’Doherty Quintet was selected by the U.S. Department of State as one of ten ensembles to participate in the 2022-23 American Music Abroad U.S. State Department tour to the Republic of Georgia and Canada. In 2021, O’Doherty received a Chamber Music America Presenters Consortium for Jazz Grant to present her project, “Caili O’Doherty: Celebrating Lil Hardin Armstrong”, featuring her arrangements of compositions by pianist, composer, and vocalist Lil Hardin Armstrong. This project will be released on Outside In Music in March 2025 as O’Doherty’s next album, titled “Bluer Than Blue”.
