Multi-award-winning trumpeter, bandleader and composer, Henry Spencer has numerous acclaimed albums to his name. His quintet plays music of “astonishing dynamic variety” (Manchester Jazz Festival) drawing on jazz, rock and minimalism.
Bold and evocative compositions showcase Henry’s “spectacular technique” (The Guardian). His well-established band do justice to music that spans passages of raw energy to intimate, emotionally led lyrical melodies - almost as if there were words being sung.
"The Defector is an ambitious album … [whose music] … is bold and dynamic and is also rich in terms of colour, texture and compositional intelligence. Spencer brings together the various genres of jazz, rock and contemporaryclassical music to create a sound that is very much his own." - The Jazz Mann ★★★★
