Fugue & Groove is a piano-based trio fusing jazz energy with classical sophistication. Their unique sound combines structured elegance with improvisational brilliance, reimagining beloved works by Massenet, Bach, and Dvořák alongside fresh, high-energy arrangements. At the core of their performances is interplay: themes shift into unexpected grooves, ideas evolve in real time, and the trio feeds off audience energy to create a concert experience that is never the same twice. From lyrical ballads to driving swing, their sets balance dexterity with accessibility—captivating seasoned jazz fans and classical audiences alike.

The name says it all: “Fugue” reflects classical counterpoint and structure, while “Groove” captures the rhythm, vitality, and spirit of jazz. Together, they deliver a performance that is sophisticated, inventive, and entertaining.

With collective experience working alongside leading names such as Alex Clarke, Greg Abate, Ray Gelato, Kenny Ball, Bobby Wellins, King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys, Idina Menzel and Dave Stewart, Fugue & Groove bring expertise and energy to every stage. Already winning over audiences across the UK, the trio is fast gaining attention from promoters, festivals, and venues seeking something thats both fresh but with universal appeal and themes that are familiar to audiences.
