"Magical Spaces" is the kind of CD that you want to listen to over and over. Jeff's musicality is incredible. He is so tasty as a percussionist and he has become a fine composer/arranger with a good melodic concept and harmonic depth. The group performance is remarkable... - Jimmy Heath
"Jeff Siegel's new CD, Magical Spaces, is a musical offering that emphasizes not only Jeff's fine drumming skills but displays his compositional talent as well."
- Jack DeJohnette
" ............THANKS FOR:
1. THE SOUND OF THE MUSIC.
2. THE SOUND OF THE MUSICIANSHIP.
3. THE SOUND OF THE MUSIC ON THE CD."
- Ron Carter
JEFF "SIEGE" SIEGEL QUARTET
RECORED BY RADIOBREMEN
Live in Europe exemplifies the expression of parts being equal to their sum. Each artist—drummer and leader Jeff “Siege” Siegel, tenor saxophonist Erica Lindsay, pianist Francesca Tanksley, and bassist Danton Boller—contributes humbly to this trove of engaging musical dialogue.
Drummer/Composer Jeff "Siege" Siegel is a veteran of the New York Jazz Scene and has worked with a virtual"who's who" of artists. A member of the Sir Roland Hanna Trio from 1994-'99, Siegel's diverse career has also led him to perform and/or record with legends such as Ron Carter, Kenny Burrell, Jack DeJohnette, Benny Golson, Frank Foster, Shiela Jordan, Helen Merrill, Mose Allison and many more.
He has also performed and/or recorded with the younger generation of musicians such as Dave Douglas, Stefon Harris, Kurt Elling, Ravi Coltrane, Ryan Kisor, Steve Turre, Arthur Rhames and John Esposito. He has worked in the avant garde world as well with Wadada Leo Smith, Baikida Carroll and others. He is co-leader of the Stevens, Siegel & Ferguson Trio, The New York Trio Project and The Jeff Marx/Jeff "Siege" Siegel Duo.
Siegel has been described in Jazz World Magazine as a "brilliant drummer", while lauded in Modern Drummer for his "forward energy and abundantly attractive ideas".
"His playing is always tasteful whether it be in forceful, intense situations or in quiet, supporting roles. His writing is intriguing" notes the Green Mountain Jazz Messenger.
An active educator, Siegel teaches Jazz drumming at the State University of New York at New Paltz as well as at Western Connecticut State University. He has performed clinics throughout Europe and the United States.
He holds a Masters Degree in Jazz from Queens College where he studied composition with Jimmy Heath and has subsequently been the recipient of several grants from Meet the Composer.
