Alex Davis and Terry Pettitt have been working together since 1997 when they met at Goldsmiths College whilst studying music.

Their style and repertoire ranges through romantic jazz and bebop to funk and latin, although they refuse to be limited and will happily arrange a version of any tune for a willing audience.
