Dom & The Ikos Album Launch – Saturday 22nd November

I first featured Dom Pipkin & The Ikos back in 2012. Now I’ve featured them as one of the New Generation of Jazz Bands in my preceding post “Lets Avoid The Jazz Generation Gap”. Dom is an inspirational pianist whom I’ve witnessed striking up a classical concerto and morphing via rock and pop into New Orleans Jazz to win over their young fans to The Ikos favourite jazz genres. Until recently he took time out to star as Paloma Faith’s pianist and musical director and toured the world with her. I well remember him accompanying her on piano when she starred on “Strictly Come Dancing” and on “Later With Jools Holland”.

But Dom’s heart is really in jazz and I remember him telling me “I’ll be back”!

So now he is back and with his beloved Ikos is set to launch their brand new album.

November 4th: Not To Be Missed At Olney US Saxophone Star Greg Abate! In October Olney Featured Exciting Young Jazz Violinist Ben Holder

October at Olney Jazz Club

 

Alan Haughton runs a very successful jazz club at Olney. He includes a variety of bands and groups playing a variety of jazz including New Orleans Revivalist Jazz, British Trad and Mainstream.

This way he makes all comers happy and, unlike so many other clubs,  ensures excellent turn outs each month. Traditional Fans might be more selective in the bands they prefer but Mainstream Fans tend to like all forms of jazz so don’t pick and choose, which helps keep numbers up, ensuring Olney continues as a hugely popular club.

Alan also welcomes young jazz musicians and bands to the club and in November fans were swept away by Ben Holder, one of the most gifted and exciting young jazz violinists in the UK.

Here’s Ben with his group playing “Sweet Georgia Brown” with Alan guesting on piano. Hold on to your seats, it’s fast and furious!
