Live Jazz London

Influences: Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Bobby Bradford

Loz Speyer plays trumpet and flugelhorn in the Space Trio, a bass-and-drums format that sits between free jazz and structured jazz, with melodic motifs carrying the improvisation. The trio mixes Speyer's own tunes with pieces by Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry and Johnny Dyani, and Speyer has spent years developing this format through groups such as Threeway and FreeTrio. Speyer's melodic invention and unhurried sense of building new ideas out of short phrases make his live playing worth seeing.

Personnel:
Loz Speyer (trumpet, flugelhorn)
Josh Vadiveloo (double bass)
Andrew Lisle (drums)
