The Spin is delighted to welcome back one of the most fiery, original and groovesome trumpeters that the UK has ever produced: Henry Spencer. He brings a stunning band, featuring his long-standing collaborator, the brilliant guitarist Ant Law!
With Rob Brockway on keyboards and David Ingamells on drums, this band delivers contemporary jazz stylings that is at the same time, melodically-driven and imbued with groove. But please don’t just take our word for it; here’s what the national press have said about Spencer’s band:
“Contender for Album of the Year” – All About Jazz
“Spencer is one of the great talents of the British jazz scene drawing a high level of recognition. Listen to Spencer’s genius” – InMusic(DE) ★★★★★
“Dazzling” The Guardian ★★★★ & The Observer ★★★★
“A genre-blending masterpiece” – Jazz in Europe
“Big music that demands a big setting – major festival stages and theatres beckon.” – Jazzwise ★★★★
“New heights. He climbs very close to the summit here with The Defector. The result, in a word, is intense.” – All About Jazz ★★★★
“Henry Spencer’s music has a unique focus and quality rarely experienced from others of his generation…Originals with real meaning” – Paul Pace, bookings, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club
Touching jazz, rock and minimalism, the music’s “astonishing dynamic variety” (Manchester Jazz Festival) combines Henry’s “spectacular technique” (The Guardian), intense, raw energy and evocative outlets, with moments of intimate, heart-felt, emotionally-led, lyrical melodies – almost as if there were words being sung.
