leading lights of UK jazz forthe best part of a decade, as a composer, highly distinctive performer and an eclectic bandleader. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of sax icon Charlie Parker's death, Speake brings the talents

of his powerhouse quartet to bear on some of Bird's own compositions as well as standards and other material that he recorded. The setlist will include their

own readings of tunes such as Diverse,Drifting on Reed, Bird Feathers, The Hymn, Star Eyes, Visa, Tico Tico, Donna Lee, Dancing in the Dark, Chasin' the Bird, Crazeology, Milestones,

Sippin at Bells, I'm In The Mood For Love, Embraceable You, Bebop and many others.

"One of the most original

and interesting contemporary

jazz saxophonists on the

British scene."
