A regular on the jazz circuit, Dom has recorded and toured with the likes of Paul Weller, Ray Davies, Pee Wee Ellis, Guy Barker and Laura Mvula among many others. The high-energy show features some of the very best in familiar, swinging New Orleans jazz and blues including numbers from such giants of the genre as Jelly Roll Morton, Professor Longhair, James Booker, Dr John and Fats Domino.
