DOMi & JD BECK: WHO ASKED? Tour, Esplanade Annexe Studio

Two musicians, very fast, very close.

DOMi & JD BECK are the act to see if you like watching musicians do things that shouldn't be possible at that speed. The Grammy-nominated duo, one on keys and one on drums, play jazz fusion that sits somewhere between virtuoso jazz and video-game soundtrack, and on Tuesday 1 December at 8pm they play Esplanade's Annexe Studio as part of the Mosaic Music Series.

The venue is the reason to book. The Annexe Studio is a small black-box room, and this is a standing show, so the gap between you and the drum kit is a few metres. It runs about an hour and 15 minutes with no interval, which is short for the price but about right for music this dense. Tickets are from S$67.50, standard S$75, with a limited concession tier for students, NSFs, seniors and persons with disabilities whose price the page doesn't show. The age rule is 6 and above.

The compromise: standing for 75 minutes after a working Tuesday, and no seats to fall back on. Our advice is to arrive early for a spot with a sightline to the keys and the kit, because half the point is watching their hands, eat beforehand at the Esplanade, and come with the friend who still talks about the drummer at the last gig you went to. Esplanade MRT is underneath. If you can't stand for that long, this is the wrong show, and no amount of virtuosity will make your back forgive you on Wednesday morning. Everyone else should book early: a small room sells out faster than a hall.
