Martin Speake International Quartet at Crookes Social Club

About

Award winning saxophonist Martin Speake, one of our most fluent and creative musicians and composers, brings another quartet of top international jazz musicians to Sheffield. Featuring acclaimed pianist and arranger Hans Koller, perhaps best known for his ambitious work with large ensembles, but who is equally at home in a trio or quartet setting, this band is backed by the excellent Danish rhythm section of bassist Anders Christensen and drummer Anders Mogensen. Expect intelligent, searching modern jazz underpinned by lyricism and the subtlety of both the compositions and the improvised melodies.
