Speyer's Space Trio - Live @ The Old Library Bar

Loz Speyer - trumpet, flugelhorn

Josh Vadiveloo - double bass

Andrew Lisle - drums

Loz Speyer’s SPACE TRIO play some free flowing Jazz compositions by the likes of Ornette Coleman, Dave Holland, Johnny Dyani… alongside of his own original music, including a piece or two from the recent and critically acclaimed Inner Space album “Live in Leipzig”.

**** “Superb outing, that effectively highlights the leader's jarring and perceptively constructed compositions.”

Glen Astarita, All About Jazz

“This dance between freedom and form needs more than that to succeed. Much of the time it relies on mainly motivic improvisation, with its particular demands. Speyer leads the way in meeting them. Rather like the great Bobby Bradford to my ear, just when you feel a solo excursion is beginning to fade he is able to apply the Ornette Coleman method of inflating another bubble of new melody, apparently at will.

That’s something only the best players in this school can bring off consistently ... As the CD testifies, it makes their live performance a richly rewarding affair. Hearing them do it again in person shows a band going from strength to strength.”
