Bruce Menefield

Bruce Menefield's unique style of playing encompasses a variety of musical genre, including jazz, gospel, blues, R&B and world music.  His career is marked by his ability to mix talented musicians into exciting ensembles.  The groups he has developed are known to keep a "hard groove" and to deliver a strong musical message of hope.  He has performed among some of the best in jazz such as Billy Harper, Clark Terry, Bennie Maupin, Ronnie Laws and John Blake.  

Bruce is best known for his big bluesy sound, but he has morphed into a highly spirited improviser, able to create new music on the spot and in the height of the moment. His understanding of complex jazz chords, harmony and rhythmic textures has a breadth and depth all its own.  With his incredibly powerful, nimble fingers coupled with his skillful touch, he stretches the creative boundaries of his instrument.
