Inner Space plays Jazz of a rare warmth and immediacy - compositions for improvisers with roots in both jazz and free improv. Loz Speyer’s writing for the band creates space for the group to explore new areas and discover where the music might GO, while drawing deeply on the Jazz tradition, all the way back to New Orleans. Each piece evolves its own form, with these five distinctive musicians working it all out in the here and NOW.

The 2024 album “Live in Leipzig” is the first release by this exceptional Inner Space lineup, featuring both Dee Byrne and Xhosa Cole on saxophones. This live concert recording presents the band in the heat of the moment, probing and exploratory, finding the groove at every point.

“A fertile combination of creative talents that benefits greatly from Speyer’s particular compositional approach, using well-deployed written elements to throw out an atmosphere that opens a door for each player to find their own path. The energetic chemistry that emerges... is often breathtakingly sure-footed - were they really making this up? It’s a gloriously unified collaboration…” **** Tony Benjamin, Jazzwise

LOZ SPEYER’S INNER SPACE

Loz Speyer - trumpet, flugelhorn

Dee Byrne - alto sax

Xhosa Cole - tenor sax

Larry Bartley - double bass

Gary Willcox - drums

“Three recordings in 20 years for Inner Space… indicates a patient cultivation of their art. And the way that the group sound remains identifiable even though Speyer is the only player all the band’s incarnations have in common shows the value of a clear musical vision. That vision… is currently realised by a truly remarkable quintet.” - Jon Turney, UK Jazz News
