About the event;
For this early start gig, BMJazz Collective is delighted to invite pianist/singer Dom Pipkin back to Black Mountain Jazz Club. One of the COVID performers at our online wall2wall Jazz Festival 2021, Dom wowed our BMJ audiences both online and once more in the theatre 2 years later.
Knowing BMJazz Collective’s Jack Mac’s love of all things New Orleans and in addition Nick Kacal’s long relationship with Dom Pipkin and his music over the years, this promises to be an electric night in the Melville Theatre.
With a glittering session career (David Byrne, Ray Davies, Morcheeba), piano player and songwriter Dom Pipkin has been described by Blues in Britain as “one of the world’s greatest exponents of New Orleans piano”.
He first discovered the New Orleans style in the early 90s and has gone on to become a regular visitor and performer in that city, with appearances that include the highly acclaimed “Piano Night” and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival.
He is a regular fixture on the European blues and boogie-woogie festival circuit having played 1000’s of club and theatre, radio and TV dates in a career spanning nearly three decades. Dom Pipkin regularly performs and records in New Orleans and has shared stages with legends such as Allen Toussaint , Dr John and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Grammy award winner Jon Cleary invites him to jam whenever he is in town.
In live shows Pipkin mixes his own compelling songwriting with blues and Big Easy classics that “cooks up a steaming musical stew that has the crowd dancing and clapping for more”; Classic Rock Blues Magazine.
