Gee earned his B.Sc. at the University of Leeds and completed his Ph.D. at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, where, in his spare time, he played keyboard for a jazz band fronted by Sonita Alleyne, who went on to establish the TV and radio production company Somethin’ Else.
While an undergraduate, she helped organise the college Spring Ball and sang in a jazz band with Henry Gee, later a Senior Editor of Nature.

After being made redundant in 1991, Alleyne set up Somethin' Else, a music publicity business (named after the landmark jazz album by Cannonball Adderley), with former colleagues Jez Nelson and Chris Philips.
