Martin Speake’s pure tone and thoughtful improvisations give him a subtle jazz voice unlike any other UK saxophonist. Alex Maguire’s wonderful pianism spans many areas of jazz, improvised and classical musics. The equally wide-ranging percussionist and vibes player Martin Pyne completes the trio in what will be an extraordinary evening of creative music making.
“Speake is a strikingly talented improviser with a seemingly bottomless well of inspiration.” - Encyclopedia of Popular Music
“An alto saxophonist who sounds only like himself.”
