Inner Space
"The integrity they bring to the emerging free jazz push-pull structure of ’Space Music’ pilots the musicians further towards destinations unknown." - Philip Clark, Jazzwise ****
"Superb outing that effectively highlights the leader's jarring and perceptively constructed compositions."
Glen Astarita, All About Jazz ****
"Serious fun of the first order - recommended." Mike Butler, Metro
Time Zone
“An ensemble led by a trumpeter/composer who has absorbed the essence of Cuban music and distilled it quite cunningly into an improvisatory context, with no compromise to either culture… Gritty, graceful sounds with a dark-light intensity.” - Kevin Legendre, Echoes
“A fresh perspective on that [Cuban] heritage by way of his London-based ensemble’s taste for raw punky downtown improv via New York, all the way through to free-jazz elements. But the music’s convivial dance sensibility sourced from son, batá and salsa is always apparent... Cohesive and engaging.” - Selwyn Harris, Jazzwise
"Nobody writes world music quite like Loz Speyer, and he’s long deserved a bigger stage, and the resources to match."
- John Fordham, the Guardian
