SPEEQ - Mark Sanders / Phil Minton / Hasse Poulsen / Luc Ex

No Longer Available

Luc Ex - bass

Phil Minton - voice

Hasse Poulsen - guitar

Mark Sanders - drums

 

SPEEQ is a quartet of European improvisers, which came together for the first time in March 2006 at the Banlieues Bleues festival North of Paris. This concert was great. The four different personalities really work well together. Other concerts have followed on jazz festivals in France, England, Finland, Germany, Holland, Denmark, Austria.

 

This is intense, sharp and beautiful music.

 

It's a real one-off band. John Fordham - The Guardian

 

takes you somewhere unfamiliar and disorienting, and it’s an enlivening and unique experience.Julian Cowley, The Wire

 

The music of Speeq operates in the borderzones between european improvised music and avant-garde rock….certainly a band to follow in the future. Herman te Loo. Jazzflits
