Heads up, jazz fans: the ever-reliable Jazz Line-Up this coming Sunday on Radio 3 features British saxophonist Martin Speake‘s quartet, recorded at last year’s London Jazz Festival.
I last heard Speake in a recorded session for Jazz on 3 back in 2009, when he played in a quartet featuring pianist Bobo Stenson, playing his then recently-released album ‘Change of Heart’ for the ECM label; it was a terrific set. It was one of my highlights of that year on Radio 3.
Catch this Sunday’s broadcast if you can, it’ll be on iPlayer for a week afterwards.
