5.0 out of 5 stars
the music speaks for itself,
This review is from: Two Kinds of Blue (Audio CD)
"Two Kinds of Blue" is Speyer's debut album, released in 1999 on 33 Records. Here's what the press had to say:"An excellent, gutsy, hard-edged quartet session..." (John Lewis, Time Out) "....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) "Loz Speyer Quartet play sparky, open, attractive jazz with all the punch and accessibility customarily associated with rock music." (Chris Parker, the Times) "... an extremely engaging CD. The opening track really grabs the attention with that fat juicy Lee Morgan sound... drummer Tony Bianco really drives this band along with bassist Richard Jeffries, and guitarist Andy Jones completes the quartet with good and compelling lines of his own. There's a lot of variety here which includes some jolly Irishisms on Up-Pepping Song and a strong New York feel on track nine Knee Bend where Tony and Richard really kick in. A fine band to see live I would think... Watch out for it." (Brian Blain, Jazz 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)
