Dominic J Marshall – Pianist/composer, b. Bannockburn, Scotland, 1989.

“Marshall is a budding talent with a fertile mind and displays a youthful energy as well as a darker, deeper side.” (Don Albert – Downbeat)

“…a considerable pianistic talent…pleasingly self-absorbed but consistently communicative and inventive piano solos that really impress…featuring an intense, fiercely interactive trio.” (Chris Parker – LondonJazz)

“A wonderfully fresh-sounding trio [Tyratarantis] of young musicians who play so easily you lose sight of the technical accomplishments of all the band members and just dig the feel… they communicate great joy. I think no-one’s told them yet that life’s supposed to be difficult!” – (John Law)

“He plays with real beauty and sensitivity and his compositions are really very imaginative. Echoes of EST.” (Chris Gumbley)
