DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 sets of music\n \nLine-up:\nHenry Spencer - trumpet\nKarim Saber - Guitar\nJamie Murray - Drum kit\nMatt Robinson - Piano\n\n \nAbout:\nHenry Spencer brings his band to perform before leaving to tour Europe again later this year. Henry Spencer launched his latest album ‘The Defector’ (“A masterpiece” - Jazz in Europe) following international touring\, TV and radio broadcasts and the increase of audiences and followers worldwide. He worked with multi-GRAMMY Award winning Dave Darlington in New York (whose credits include Miles Davis\, Herbie Hancock\, Wayne Shorter) for his previous releases\, receiving critical acclaim internationally:\n\n“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)\n\n“Contender for Album of the Year” – All About Jazz\n\nFor The Defector Henry Spencer collaborated with Jon Kelly (credits include; Michael Jackson\, Kate Bush\, Paul McCartney\, John Lennon\, Richard Ashcroft)\, co-producer Paul Whalley (platinum-selling producer regularly working with high profile international artists) and composer George Stevenson (commissioned by London Symphony Orchestra\, Royal Scottish National Orchestra among others).\n\n“Dazzling” - The Guardian & The Observer\n\n“Big music that demands a big setting – major festival stages and theatres beckon.” - Jazzwise\n\n“New heights. He climbs very close to the summit here with The Defector. The result\, in a word\, is intense.” - All About Jazz\n\nHenry’s unusual and personal approach gives the music its rare\, impactful strength; emotionally drawing in as well as exhilarating the listener. He says: “I’m most interested in music that’s driven by sincere emotional intent and deals with genuine experience. I want to draw in the listener so they engage with the music\, relating it to their own personal experience – with as much emotive clarity as if the music had lyrics. It’s an outlet\, a release.”\n @henryspencermusic\n \n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0b9i9lXZo0[/embed]
