There’s a strong affinity in Jazz between trumpet and guitar, and it’s one that trumpeter Loz Speyer has long enjoyed, ever since playing duo with Amancio Da Silva in the early 90s. His debut quartet album Two Kinds of Blue (1999, 33 Records) and his various Time Zone lineups all feature guitar as the chordal/melodic instrument.
“Speyer’s playing catches the ear due to its buoyant drive, astute use of space and incisive way with a phrase that intermittently evokes Hispanic players and avant-garde heroes such as Lester Bowie… gritty, graceful sounds with a dark-light intensity.” Kevin Le Gendre, Echoes
