Jazz Encounters With The Martin Speake International Quartet at Cedars Hall

About

Citing Charlie Parker, Paul Motian, Lee Konitz, Keith Jarrett, Ornette Coleman and Rabih Abou-Khalil among his major influences, Martin Speake has developed an individuality as an improviser that is intelligent, melodic, cool, complex, direct, beautiful and profound. His partners are acclaimed pianist Ethan Iverson (“A uniquely idiosyncratic virtuoso-scholar of jazz.” - The Guardian), bass player Calum Gourlay and Jeff Williams on drums.
