| Playing folky, Beatlesque power-pop, Jigsaw Seen was formed in Los Angeles in the late '80s by Dennis Davison (ex-United States of Experience) and Jonathan Lea (ex-Revolver). In addition to several singles and compilation tracks, Jigsaw Seen released an album and an EP (Shortcut Through Clown Alley and My Name Is Tom, respectively) during the first half of the 1990s. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide Well known to longtime readers of psych-oriented zines like Ptolemaic Terra-scope and Bucketful of Brains, L.A.’s Jigsaw Seen is now enjoying a more elevated profile, thanks to a Best Design Grammy nomination for last year’s Zenith CD. But while the disc’s packaging is cool, the music is the real deal, and comes highly recommended to anyone who digs the Bee Gees, early Bowie or the darker recesses of late-’60s British psychedelia. ~ LA Weekly |

The Jigsaw Seen were nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package and for an L.A. Weekly Music Award (best pop-rock band).
The Jigsaw Seen appear on a Bee Gees tribute album called Meloday Fair: Songs Of The Bee Gees By...(1994). They covered the song
"Melody Fair" and Dennis Davison and Jonathan also produced this compilation.
"Spindly yet dulcet-tonsiled crooner Dennis "Ebenezer" Davison and his sidekick guitarist Jonathan Lea, have kept the cassettes for this project wadded in a moldy burlap artichoke sack for years. No false modesty here. Since they call the shots, their song goes first. Quite a pip it is too - real lump in the throat stuff and nothing to do with goiter."
