Inner Space plays jazz of rare warmth and immediacy. Speyer’s compositions create space for free playing where the group can explore new areas and discover where the music might go, while also drawing deeply on the jazz tradition all the way back to Bebop and New Orleans. Each piece evolves into its own form, with five distinctive musicians working it all out in the here and now.
This exciting version of the Inner Space lineup features the unique and widely acclaimed saxophone team of Xhosa Cole and Dee Byrne, with freewheeling propulsion generated by drummer Gary Willcox and bassist Larry Bartley.
Loz Speyer – Trumpet, flugelhorn
