Jeff Spencer

He bought a bass for 15 pounds in 1986 but didn't play it anywhere near enough until 2001 when he then bought a better one. Meanwhile he had distracted himself with the guitar, piano, viola and an Atari ST. He studied music at Bristol University and emerged as a 'qualified' composer. Now, he is armed with bass skills and a voice untouched by cigarette smoke for just over a week. His latest compositions have been instrumental and try to summarise the vast array of influences and interests he as accrued. See his "Resonation Big Band" for further work.

Jeff has played with Pee Wee Ellis, Fred Wesley, Geoffrey Oryema, Michael Giles (King Crimson), Elliott Randall (guitarist on Reeling In The Years!) John Etheridge, James Morton, Melanie Gabriel, Skankt, Sam Holmes, Nik Young, Emily Breeze, Rich Pollott, EMF, Helele, Scuba, Saskatoon, Alex Hutchings, Jimmy Goodrich and many others.

The tunes you can hear and/or buy were composed and recorded by Jeff in Bristol, UK with some fantastic musicians - Daisy Palmer on drums, Jerry Crozier-Cole on guitar, Rebecca Nash on piano, Jake and Pete from The Blessing (on "31") James Gardiner-Bateman on Alto ("Fruity Bikoutsi") and loads of other talents.
