Spencer Zahn is the LA-residing bassist/multi-instrumentalist and composer who has released several albums both as a solo artist and as a collaborator. His music is marked by openness - spacious sonic spaces rich with contributions from his creative community.

In November 2023, Zahn released Statues - the album compositions were written during a six month period of solitary focus - however after moving to Los Angeles in early 2023, Zahn started to work with a group of new musicians that make up some of the most exciting players in LA. His new west coast quartet consists of Nicole McCabe, Vancil Cooper, and Zach Tenorio.

On Zahn’s latest offering Statues Live the west coast quartet performed two live concerts both recorded to make up the tracklisting for his new album. Though the compositions are the same as the studio album Statues, the sound and performance is unique to this new live album leaning heavily on the perspective of the quartet and their collective improvisations. Side A was recorded live, outdoors at the Leaving Records concert series. Side B was recorded live, indoors at Altamira Sound in front of a studio audience.
