Dominic Spiteri
Jazz Pianist
I love jazz and improvised music. I'm currently working on writing and performing some original jazz as well as just shedding a bunch.
I'm often playing several gigs a week, with various groups and formats. Recently I've been doing a lot of duo playing with vocalists / horn players / guitarists..
I've got experience writing and arranging, having done big band arranging while studying..
Always keen to collaborate and get involved in creative projects!
