A new project with North East based musicians, Martin Speake performs his own music that has been featured on albums such as Intention and Always A First Time with Jeff Williams, Mike Outram, Ethan Iverson, James Maddren and others.
He has been a professional musician for some 40 years, first coming to prominence in 1986 with the saxophone quartet Itchy Fingers, winning the Schlitz Young Jazz Musician award and touring the world with them for two years. In 1988 he embarked on a solo career and has been a prolific writer and recording artist (25 albums under his own name and 3 more ready for release). His music is difficult to categorise as he has many influences and has worked in many contexts , including straight ahead jazz, Charlie Parker, Ornette Coleman, Indian/Arab music, free improvisation, improvising on Bartok themes, and his own original contemporary music.
“Change of Heart makes a compelling case that Martin Speake is one of the most interesting and rewarding alto saxophonists now playing jazz on any continent.” – Thomas Conrad Jazz Times
“There is a fragile beauty to the way this music hangs together. You cannot help but wonder at the sheer craftsmanship that made it possible.” – Stuart Nicholson Observer Music Monthly
“Simple directness, overtly beautiful, cool and compact: just wonderful.” – Budd Kopmann All About Jazz
