Alec Spiegelman is a multi-woodwind player living in Brooklyn, NY.
As a saxophonist, clarinetist, and flutist, Alec has performed and/or recorded with Bob Moses, Bob Brookmeyer, Apollo Sunshine, Mandy Moore, Eilen Jewell, Josh Ritter, the Ayn Inserto Jazz Orchestra, Dan Blake, Brian Viglione, Gill Aharon, Audrey Ryan, Sarah Pedinotti, Nat Mugavero, Entrain, and Little Joe Cook, among many others.
A graduate of New England Conservatory and Harvard College, Alec studied with Steve Lacy, Ran Blake, Bob Brookmeyer, and Bob Moses.
Of late, Alec can be heard playing rootsy jazz with "modern vintage" songstress Miss Tess, honking r&b tenor with the Chicken Slacks Soul Revue, Balkan folk music with Tev Stevig and the Poludaktulos Orchestra, 80's pop songs reimagined for the saxophone duo "Ronald Reagan", and obscure bebop lines with Lefteris Kordis and Thor Thorvaldsson, in addition to singing his original pop songs with the experimental folk orchestra "Cuddle Magic".
Alec's original compositions for jazz ensemble -- most often enlisting Jeff Galindo, Eric Hofbauer, Nat Mugavero -- attempt the quixotic task of blending those influences.
"a very gifted clarinet, flute and bass clarinet player ... He's quite a guy" - Bob Brookmeyer (www.bobbrookmeyer.com)
