The Artists Behind “There is a Dream”
Jeremy Stacey
Like so many of the artists in UFP, Jeremy has undoubtedly featured on a whole bunch of your favourite albums and is unwittingly engrained in your favourite riffs.
Robbie McIntosh
At every session, he gives absolutely everything, really getting inside the bones of each track and fellow musicians to drag out a whole world of surprises. He really gets it.
Spencer Cozens
Spencer has been a longest serving member of UPF and has played on 6 of the tracks. He has survived the ruthless culling that Simon has made from track to track.
Kipper Eldridge
Kipper Eldridge is, quite simply, one of the most effervescent human beings we have come across. He is like an exploding champagne bottle 24/7.
Jon Kenzie
Of any one of the 70+ collaborators that we have worked with on UFP, Jon was, without doubt, the most perfectly formed organic example of what Simon looked to achieve right from the beginning.
Pino Palladino
Is there really anything else that can be said about Pino? A career defined by diversity, versatility, true vision & no boundaries. He glides from genre to genre and completely owns that space.
Roberto Manzin
Officially, the longest serving member of UFP and the only surviving member of the cull of the initial 40+ musicians. He is a regular performer on the Jazz circuits in London and Berlin.
Chris Potter
The mixing engineer on any track is as important a collaborator as all of the musicians and artists themselves. There are mixing engineers & then there is Chris Potter who is a complete artist in his own right.
Dance the Rain
The Artists Behind “Dance The Rain”
Peter Cox
The decision to bring Peter Cox on was made after Peter-John Vettese, who had produced a solo album for Peter Cox, had confirmed that Cox could easily nail the backing vocals, which was exactly what happened.
Dominic Miller
Dominic Miller is where this really all began in terms of realising that Simon’s hopes and vision might actually be achievable.
Peter-John Vettese
If Peter-John Vettese had not become a musician, he would surely be a world renowned rocket scientist or philosopher. A whirling dervish of knowledge, vision and intelligence and one of the most accomplished pianists I have ever heard.
Dave Weckl
Dave Weckl was one of only 2 artists out of the 60+ we worked with, that we were not able to do the session face to face. It was a mad situation.
Roberto Manzin
Officially, the longest serving member of UFP and the only surviving member of the cull of the initial 40+ musicians. He is a regular performer on the Jazz circuits in London and Berlin.
Kipper Eldridge
Kipper Eldridge is, quite simply, one of the most effervescent human beings we have come across. He is like an exploding champagne bottle 24/7.
