A jazz musician, composer, and educator performing worldwide, Martin Speake is one of the UK’s most interesting saxophonists and a talented improviser. On this occasion, he brings his latest band to Huddersfield playing standard tunes but reinventing the forms with melodic and rhythmic imagination as if they are their own original compositions.
