Secret Chiefs 3 is an instrumental rock group led by guitarist/composer Trey Spruance. Their studio recording and tours have featured different line-ups as the group performs a wide range of musical styles including surf rock, Persian, Arab, Indian, death metal, and electronic.
Spruance formed the band in the mid 90’s with Trevor Dunn and Danny Heifetz. Some of the many musicians who have recorded or toured with Secret Chiefs 3 include volinist Eyvind Kang, percussionist William Winant, drummer Ches Smith, and bassist Shazad Ismaily. Musicians tend to float in and out of Secret Chiefs 3, so the concept of current/former members isn’t entirely applicable.
Their latest album, Secret Chiefs 3 / Ishraqiyun, is set to be released November 11. The groups website states, “in many ways this Traditionalists record is the highest peak Secret Chiefs has gone to in terms of orchestral writing and production, and some of the music has become a staple of the live concerts.
