About:
Henry 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:
“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)
“Contender for Album of the Year” – All About Jazz
For 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).
“Dazzling” - The Guardian & The Observer
“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’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.”
