"Alldis is unique, a polished and delicate jazz pianist. He performs with such subtle precision…” Dave Gelly, The Observer
“The 'Jazz Meets Classical' concert by the Dominic Alldis Trio was fantastic. It gave me a totally new and fresh perspective on classical pieces I have been listening to for years…" David McCleery, Artistic Director, St. James' Piccadilly

The Dominic Alldis Trio explores the meeting point of two worlds: classical music and jazz. Taking inspiration from the Jacques Loussier Trio, Bill Evans Trio, Dave Brubeck Quartet and the Modern Jazz Quartet, the trio brings a fresh and contemporary approach to famous themes from classical music, opera, and folk songs. Their concerts appeal to both classical and jazz audiences who enjoy chamber music, jazz and the timeless art of improvisation.

This evening they will pay tribute to the legendary French jazz pianist Jacques Loussier, whose subtle blending of jazz and classical music led to a new musical genre called ’third stream’. Jacques Loussier sadly passed away in 2019.

Previous engagements have included concerts at the Royal Albert Hall Elgar Room, South Bank Centre, London Jazz Festival, St. James’s Piccadilly as well as numerous festival, jazz clubs and music societies across the UK and abroad.
