Spencer Zweifel & the Life or Death Situation Live from KUVO

Spencer Zweifel & the Life or Death Situation airs from KUVO’s Masterpiece Studio.

Emerging from deep within the Earth’s crust, Spencer Zweifel’s Life or Death Situation delights stranded audiences with a hypnotic marriage of scintillating melody and oppressive soundscapes. Borne by a deep love for jazz, post-rock, and expressionism, Zweifel’s ensemble tackles disparate originals with disarming sincerity. Discerning listeners will detect generous Dave Holland, Chick Corea, and Charles Mingus influences; non-discerning listeners will detect generous volume.

Pianist/composer Spencer Zweifel is joined by Tom Amend on keyboards, Domi Edson on bass, Brian Claxton on drums, Jack McManaman on guitar, and a three-part horn section: Shawn Williams – trumpet, Briana Harris – alto sax, and Andrew Janak – tenor sax.

Their eponymous album was released on September 6. Their next performance is on October 18 at the Mercury Cafe with Tom Call’s BattleJazz Orchestra.

Spencer Zweifel and the Life or Death Situation, on KUVO, on the air, on stream, on the app, and KUVO’s YouTube and Twitch channels, Thursday, October 3 at 7 p.m.!

Performances on KUVO JAZZ are supported by KUVO Studio Club members, the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, Drum City Guitar Land, Grace Design Pro Audio, and the donors to the Carlos Lando Musician & Event Fund.
