This duo project unfolds as an intimate and evocative musical journey, where voice and piano meet in a space of deep listening, spontaneity, and poetic expression. Rooted in the jazz vocal tradition and enriched by European sensibilities, the music weaves together original compositions alongside personal interpretations of jazz standards and selected works from the jazz tradition. Drawing inspiration from visionary figures such as Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, the project reveals a refined sense of storytelling and harmonic depth. The performance emerges as a living dialogue, shaped by nuance, contrast, and a subtle interplay between composition and poetics. The long-standing artistic connection between Simona Parrinello and Gianluca Di Ienno gives rise to a sound of rare sensitivity, depth, and authenticity.

Tanhai Collective

Emerging UK Jazz band Tanhai Collective perform unreleased tracks from their yet to be recorded debut full length album. Drawing from 70's Funk and 90's post rock acts like Stereolab their new album sits on Modal grooves with memorable hooks and head nodding rhythms. 6 piece instrumental outfit Tanhai Collective draw from Classic Soul Jazz and the jazzier end of post rock. Their groove heavy and melodic music utilises 70’s production and recording techniques for groovy, explosive and occasionally dubbed out tracks. For fans of Donald Byrd or Badbadnotgood. Their newest album ‘Circa 2019’ set for August 2025 release goes back to their roots for melody forward, groove laden 70s Jazz Funk. Recorded and cut in one day the tracks dive head first into a live sound, reminiscent of classic recordings of the analogue era. After laying down the groundwork for a modern jazz sound with the release of their first 2 EPs ‘The Tanifesto’ & ‘In Lane’ respectively, the band headlined London’s Jazz Cafe, held a year long residency at ‘Parliamentary Jazz Venue of the Year’ runner up 91 Living Room, and supported Herbie Hancock’s headhunters at Ronnie Scotts for back to back nights. In Autumn 2025 they release ‘circa 2019’ alongside a UK tour performing at London’s Jazz Cafe, Manchester’s Band on the Wall, Rough Trafe Bristol and Norwich Arts Centre.

Dom Pipkin

Alongside 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. Jazz star Jamie Cullum says “I can’t hold a candle to this guy”. Pipkin developed a particular specialisation for the unique flavours of maverick New Orleans piano star James Booker (1939 - 1983) capturing the player’s trademark combination of driving blues married with rhapsodic classical influences. He was invited to play at the world premiere of the documentary “Bayou Maharajah” at SXSW in 2014, and at multiple subsequent screenings of the film. 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’s in town. In live shows Pipkin mixes his own compelling songwriting with blues and Big Easy classics.
