Jazz Mann Recommended Listening

Loz Speyer’s Inner Space

Live in Leipzig

Captures the Inner Space quintet at the top of their game, delivering music at the cusp of structure and improvisation and striking just the right balance between the two.

Norma Winstone and Kit Downes

Outpost of Dreams

The ten tunes are immaculately selected and embrace elements of jazz, folk and classical music, ingredients that bring out the best of this highly talented duo.

John Escreet

the epicenter of your dreams

A fiercely intelligent recording featuring inventive original writing, imaginative interpretations of outside material and some excellent playing.

Ben Carter Quintet

Pulsar

“Pulsar” is successful on its terms but it’s also a recording that exhibits considerable potential for the future, not just for Carter but for all the members of this talented young quintet.
