"Contemporary French Impressionism, very lyrical and visual music. Melody and harmony driven with unusual twists and turns where you least expect it. Music that makes you think."

The debut of "Treblemakers Studio" presenting Bobby Cochran's CD release, HANDS UPON BLACK EARTH, flooded the plains of our souls last night, Spencer. The tremendous talent that performed & danced at your new venue made us feel like we were suddenly transported back to the Golden Age of Mu; when in fact, we have reached the dawn of the Golden Age of Mendofornia.
Don't let those bolts of lightning you grasp escape your grip as we balance on the axis of creativity.
Happy first day of Spring! Just wanted to mention that your music has been a great source of enjoyment and inspiration to me. Have a marvelous rest of the day.
Just in case you're in the San Francisco Bay Area area during the holidays, I'd like to invite you to my CD Release Party & performance on Dec. 28, 8pm at Anna's Jazz Island in downtown Berkeley! It's a cute jazz club, very welcoming atmosphere, located at 2120 Allston Way. I'll be performing with my trio (myself on piano, Eric Marshall on bass, Andre Custodio on drums) with special guests Alex Yeung on electric guitar, and my jazz mentor Eddie Gale, a legendary trumpeter who recorded with Cecil Tayler and Sun Ra. It should be a great evening of music!
Warm wishes for the holidays,
Valerie

Many years ago, and right know I listen and enjoy your latest productions, like the first time... My best wishes for you from Chile! Sergio
Thanks, Spencer, for accepting my request. I'm happy to see you on Myspace as you've been one of my favorite pianists. You use interesting chord progressions and compelling rhythmic things. Loved all of your Narada stuff, but your new song sounds better than ever.
