“Dear Uncle Lennie” was born from the desire of pianist and composer Camille-Alban Spreng to explore the evocative power of wordless stories: those told by the fireside, lived or dreamed, inspired by cinema, folklore, or fairy tales. Through short, intimate instrumental forms, inspired by the art of haiku, the trio evokes a fantasized America: from the gold rush to the epic landscapes of Westerns, and on to sprawling family sagas.
Following their first album, the trio extends and enriches this imaginary world with Sister Juniper (BMC Records, 2025): a free-flowing journey through folk, jazz, country, and minimalism, recorded with producer Koen Gisen. True to their approach, the group favors suggestion over demonstration, exploring various traditions and genres without ever being confined by them. Folk songwriting intertwines with minimalist, repetitive music, while jazz and country blend across a wide range of instrumental expressions.
