The founder members and principal composers of global-jazz ensemble Tongue & Groove come together for this thrilling and delightful concert. Their extraordinary and unforgettable performances are characterised by the intensity and spontaneity of the music and by the instinctive rapport between these two outstanding musicians. Much of the music is brand new, including Dave’s recent Through The Changes suite, but the duo will also be performing great new versions of some of their best loved tunes.

‘I can’t really describe it – totally unique. One minute the music is fiery, raucous even; the next it’s achingly beautiful.’ (Audience member, Square Chapel Centre for the Arts, Halifax)

Richard DeDomenici describes himself as a Gadfly, a Trimtab, and a Quipnunc:

Gadfly
Person who upsets the status quo by posing upsetting or novel questions, or attempts to stimulate innovation by proving an irritant.

Trimtab
System specifically designed and placed in the environment at such a time, in such a place, where its effects would be maximised, thereby effecting the most advantageous change with the least resources, time and energy. Bringing about the most change with minimum effort. Doing more with less.

Quipnunc
Person who responds to current events, especially tragic ones, with quickly devised, sometimes callous jokes.

‘DeDomenici is an excellent example of the best live art has to offer’ (Herald, 2008)

Moving through flamenco, jazz, gypsy, hotclub and contemporary classical influences and with new arrangements of works by luminaries such as Paco de Lucia, Django Reinhardt and Horace Silver, the Collective also perform self-penned compositions and arrangements, and music by longstanding TG Guru Bryan Lester. After performances in Cannes and Barcelona, the band’s 2008 UK tour included London’s South Bank, Belfast’s Oren House Festival and sell-out performances in Birmingham and at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival.
