It is with great sadness we have to announce the passing of our dear friend and musical colleague Martin France. The trio was formed during the Oundle International Music Festival in 2013. Since then we have done over 50 concerts together. When Martin became ill and was unable to fulfil the engagements, he suggested a former student Justin Tambini from the Royal Academy of Music to fulfil the engagements. Justin is a superb musician and plays very much in the style of Martin. We will all greatly miss Martin's warm presence, but take some comfort from the thought he gave his blessing to the new trio.
The Dominic Alldis Trio comprises pianist & arranger Dominic Alldis, double bass Andrew Cleyndert and drummer Justin Tambini.
We explore the meeting point of two musical worlds: classical and jazz. Taking inspiration from the Jacques Loussier Trio, Bill Evans Trio, Dave Brubeck Quartet and the Modern Jazz Quartet, we bring a fresh and contemporary approach to famous themes from classical music, opera and folk songs.

The trio was fantastic... a totally new perspective on classical pieces I had been listening to for years.
