Jeremy Spindler
Jeremy Spindler is a French-American self-taught accordionist who grew up in Brazil and now lives in Western New York. Charismatic and playful, his love of Brazilian and French musette music is evident in his melodic style. His improvisational approach reveals his deep love of jazz. Whether in the studio or in performance, his blending of different styles, including Balkan and other traditional musical forms, and willingness to go beyond conventional boundaries strike listeners as instinctive and unique.
He has performed with French Manouche guitarist Stephane Wrembel (author of “Bistro Fada” featured in Woody Allen’s 2011 Oscar-winning film “Midnight in Paris”), worked with Grammy Award winning violinist, singer, actor and composer Lisa Gutkin (member of the Klezmatics) and with Flamenco cross over international singer songwriter Mar Salá.
He currently plays in Machine Dream (w/ award-winning Paul C Kozlowski on bayan accordion), Birds on a Wire (w/ Jazz award-winning guitarist Bernard Kunz), and the trio Comienzos (w/ Jamie Sunshine on Marimba & Brian De Jesus on Bass).
His 2019 French ConéXion album, featuring two of his compositions (Ellis and Jequié), is a tribute to French Musette and Brazilian music from the 1930’s with classics such as Indifférence and Doce de Côco. With its energetic, jazz arrangements, the record sets a modern tone while remaining atypical and playful with pockets of interplay between Bernard Kunz and Marc Cousins.
In 2022 Jeremy released with Paul C Kozlowski the self-entitled, full-length album Machine Dream, his most ambitious project. Machine Dream features seven original compositions for two accordions, each track contains a dynamic range of tonalities and textures Jeremy and Paul use to compliment one another. Spindler’s musical conversations, his presence and distinctive creative abilities, enrich the delightful tapestry of imaginative musical voyages that Machine Dream puts forth.
Jeremy is quickly becoming recognized as an upcoming artist, whose disposition to break genre boundaries and whose intuitive approach allows him to bring a multi-faceted, creative brilliance to his performances and recordings.
