Young British pianist-composer Dominic J Marshall’s trio features Sam Vicary at the double bass and Sam Gardner on drums, two of the UK’S finest rhythm section players.

The three English musicians have been playing together for a year, and over that time have developed a kinship and a unique sense of interaction.

The group has a large and flexible repertoire spanning almost all genres, but focuses most intently on performing Marshall’s original compositions, and embarking on collective improvisations that spring forth from them. The three cite such disparate artists as J Dilla, Hermann Hesse, Joan Miró, Alejandro Jodorowsky and J.S. Bach as influences.

What the critics says;

“A precocious talent with an ability to mix contemporary hip-hop and electronic influences with those from recent decades of jazz history… he certainly has an approach to the piano trio that shows real promise for the future.” (Bruce Lindsay – AllAboutJazz)

“…a new piano star” (Hessel Fluitman – Jazzflits)

“There’s no mistaking Marshall’s ferocious talents both in composition and delivery… a well-versed pianist with an ear for everything throughout the history of jazz and beyond, certainly unafraid to bare his love of hip-hop. Think J-Dilla or The Roots and you’re probably hitting the mark.” (JJ Wheeler – JazzBreakfast)

“Marshall is a budding talent with a fertile mind and displays a youthful energy as well as a darker, deeper side.” (Don Albert – Downbeat)

“…a considerable pianistic talent…pleasingly self-absorbed but consistently communicative and inventive piano solos that really impress…featuring an intense, fiercely interactive trio.” (Chris Parker – LondonJazz)
