Ian Millar & Dominic Spencer - saxophone & piano duo
"Very cool music played in a magical atmosphere - this will appeal to jazz novices as well as hardcore enthusiasts." Three Weeks Magazine

Ian and Dominic have been performing together for a number of years playing melodic improvisations on jazz standards and original compositions. Their style of jazz concentrates on developing melodic ideas within the framework of the melody of a tune, whilst maintaining the concept and groove behind it. The result is a very accessible melodic style which allows them to explore, improvise and develop ideas without losing the essence of each piece of music, and to interact together in as creative a way as possible.

They have had enormous success over many years during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with their very successful show “Jazz at Lunchtime”. Thousands of people have come to see them perform, with many sell-out shows. A number of visitors to the Edinburgh Fringe from all over the world have returned so see them year after year.

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, the duo regularly and extensively tour throughout the UK, using an old converted Yorkshire ambulance as their Tour Bus. They have embarked on many rural tours under their “Jazz in the Village” series of concerts, playing in hundreds of halls, often bringing jazz for the first time to remote communities, performing in intimate settings to appreciative audiences. The beautiful Scottish scenery that they have seen on their travels has inspired the writing of many pieces of music by Ian. 

"They are a piano and saxophone combo of the highest calibre, with music that will appeal to jazz novices as well as hardcore enthusiasts.”

“...he really used the vast range of the tenor, always with gentle lyricism”

“...really excellent Millar originals...”
