about

Debut album recorded after a 13-date tour of England and Scotland made possible with touring support from Jazz Services.

PRESS
“Loz Speyer Quartet play sparky, open, attractive jazz with all the punch and accessibility customarily associated with rock music.”
Chris Parker, the Times UK

“Speyer leads a quartet through a set of immaculate hard bop compositions, designed largely to feature his bright trumpet (with a tone combining generous doses of Brownie and hints of Woody Shaw or mid-period Miles). His writing and playing shows promise, and the young band is both fluid and tight, able to navigate the quick-shifting rhythms and accents of Speyer’s songs quite nimbly.”
David Lewis, Cadence USA

“The conversational energy of the performers, the bristly edge lent by Andy Jones’ guitar instead of the statutory piano, and the hipness of Tony Bianco’s drumming, lift the music above the regular classic-jazz homage. Speyer, who has listened to Miles Davis’ pre-electric style with intelligence and imagination, is excellent throughout...”
John Fordham, the Guardian

Work (Complete, Volumes 1-6)
by Miles Okazaki

'Work' is one of my favourite Monk tunes and I've been working on his music for a long time, often with guitarists. This solo guitar take on ALL his tunes is just great - warm, good natured and true. Loz Speyer / Spherical Records

Shoulders I Stand On
by Petra Haller, Meg Morley

Petra and Meg went to an island off the coast of Norway to make this record, and deliver 45mins of intense musicality and emotional directness, beyond what you'd think possible for a duo. Loz Speyer / Spherical Records
