Jazz in the Village

JAZZ IN THE VILLAGE Ian Millar & Dominic Spencer – saxophone& piano duo from Edinburgh. The UK’s hardest working jazz group, Ian and Dominic have been performing together for a number of years, playing melodic improvisations on jazz standards and original compositions. The duo regularly and extensively tour throughout the UK, using an old converted Yorkshire ambulance as their Tour Bus. They have embarked on many rural tours under their “Jazz in the Village” series of concerts, playing in hundreds of halls, often bringing jazz for the first time to remote communities, performing in intimate settings to appreciative audiences. The beautiful Scottish scenery that they have seen on their travels has inspired the writing of many pieces of music by Ian. Their very accessible melodic style allows them to explore, improvise and develop ideas without losing the essence of each piece of music, and to interact together in an original and creative way. "They are a piano and saxophone combo of the highest calibre, with music that will appeal to jazz novices as well as hardcore enthusiasts._” _Tickets - £12 available from Glenuig Community Shop (accompanied children under 16 go free)
