But recently Dominic returned to his true love jazz, fronting his own jazz quartet again after being encouraged to do so by Digby. Dominic hadn’t fronted his own band since his university days when he worked with stunning guitarist Mike Walker, when asked why he’d waited so long before fronting his own band again he replied "the time just never seemed right."
This welcomed return will see the release of his first jazz album later this year. Watch this space for the chance to hear the first mixes
Dominic lists his influences as John Coltrane, King Curtis, Stan Getz, Jr Walker, Gerry Mulligan, Clarence Clemons, Eric Alexander and far to many more to list.
