“Channeling the spirited energy of hard bop with the progressive aesthetics of rock music, Spiegel carves out his own niche in the contemporary jazz scene.”
Troy Collins, All About Jazz
Russ Spiegel (USA) – Russ Spiegel Trio
Groovy, swinging, and sophisticated at the same time, versatile New York city based jazz guitarist and composer Russ Spiegel hits all the right notes.
Covering a wide variety of styles from hard-swinging modern and post-modern jazz to rock, blues, funk and Latin and more, he has been garnering rave reviews for his performances all around the world.
For his NZ performances he is joined by Mark Lockett (drums) and Umar Zakaria (bass).
