MAY AT MILESTONES JAZZ CLUB

SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM LOZ SPEYER AT MILESTONES JAZZ CLUB

This month’s concert at Milestones Jazz Club on Sunday 2 May once again features something different with a respected trumpet player pushing jazz into uncharted areas – Loz Speyer’s Inner Space Music.

The music of trumpet / flugelhorn player and composer Loz Speyer is hard to pin down - by turns boisterous, gritty, graceful and swinging.

Speyer draws on the influences of Ornette Coleman, Thelonious Monk, Steve Lacy and Dave Holland, the rhythms of Cuba and qigong philosophy to make a heady brew that is always intriguing and exciting.

While the band’s music is technically brilliant, it always remains accessible and warm, treading a fine line between the composed and the improvised.

Inner Space Music released their debut CD, ‘Five Animal Dances’, in 2008, inspired by the five animal qigong forms originally designed by Taoist masters in ancient China.

Loz Speyer has long been a respected musician on the London jazz scene appearing around the UK and at prestigious venues like The Vortex and Ronnie Scott’s Club in London.

The articulate, probing sound of Inner Space Music also features the bustling, interactive energy of Rachel Musson (tenor / soprano sax), Olie Brice (double bass) and Graham Fox (drums).
