Jeff Denson's Secret World last performed at the Bach on July 6, 2014.

Bassist/composer Jeff Denson's music is steeped in the jazz tradition, where the propulsive rhythms are the heartbeat of the music and the musicians are master improvisers of harmonic structures, song forms, and melodic invention. Where the music diverges from the jazz tradition and creates its unique fingerprint in the handling of the juxtaposition of the composed and improvised material, the roles and uses of the instruments within the compositions, its musical forms and the unmistakably memorable melodic language of Jeff Denson, leaving them singing them long after the music has stopped.

"This new generation … are well studied and very world-oriented. They understand rhythms and harmonies from all over the planet and are changing the way modern jazz is articulated." - Dave Liebman, sax/educator, etc.
