The Jazz meets Classical concerts by the Dominic Alldis Trio are fantastic. The musical arrangements give me a totally new and fresh perspective on classical pieces I have been listening to for years...

Alldis is unique, a polished and delicate jazz pianist… he performs with such subtle precision...

The arrangements are strikingly original, respectfully presented, as you will never have heard them…

The concert last night was a great success. Some of our audience are not usually jazz concert goers, but many asked on their way out if we could book you again! Such a polished, varied and delightful concert. The arrangements of familiar pieces brought a whole new dimension to them.

Such a  stimulating musical experience, quite different from what our concertgoers are used to hearing and was a welcome new take on the classics…

It has a simplicity and sincerity rare these days in the hustle and bustle of the record industry demanding a certain crash, bang, wallop approach... 

These relics plucked from childhood are like slices of Proustian madeleine cake that unlock wistful memories and associations...

Many classical themes make excellent subjects for “jazz elaboration”. Dominic Alldis and his trio perform his arrangements with musicianship and flair…

An excellent concert of clever and original arrangements of classical themes. Top quality playing from the three musicians kept our audience thoroughly entertained…

A truly enthralling programme outside the normal mould of a Moffat Music Society concert, inviting an explosion of applause…

It was a wonderful concert, a hybrid of classical music and jazz, performed by three very talented musicians; it was an excellent evening...

A delightful and sophisticated evening's entertainment and a feast of lovely music presented with affection and enthusiasm…

This was a chamber jazz recital at its most refined. Please pass on my considerable appreciation to the trio for a delightful evening’s entertainment…

The audience were all really buzzing afterwards and we have had some super feedback today too. It’s marvellous to have someone playing our lovely piano like that and please pass on our thanks to your colleagues too. I hope we might entice you back to a future Festival in the not too distant future...

****Dominic Alldis plays piano with a light, elegant touch and his imaginative arrangements of such traditional tunes render the songs fresh and contemporary...

Huge thanks to the Dominic Alldis Trio for a wonderful evening. The fusion of classical and jazz styles was imaginatively and skillfully crafted, breathing new life into well loved pieces whilst retaining sensitivity to the original versions. I very much hope we can welcome them back to Petworth before too long...

One of the highlights of our Concert Series, their repertoire was perfectly judged for appreciation by a wide audience. It was innovative and approachable, slick and consummately professional... wholeheartedly recommended...

Thank you very much for a wonderful evening last night. Our thanks to you all for a superlative evening of musicianship...

Thank you for a terrific concert... the audience loved it. We all wish you continuing success...

The Trio calls it ‘jazz meets classical’, they make the perfect couple and the audience loved every minute…
