  • Description

    In 1990 alto saxophonist Martin Speake and Ethan Iverson met at Banff Centre for The Arts in Canada where they studied for a month with Steve Coleman, Rufus Reid, Kevin Eubanks, Stanley Cowell, Kenny Wheeler and many others. This began their musical relationship and they kept in touch for a while as Ethan moved to New York and eventually became the musical director/pianist with Mark Morris Dance Company. Since then he has toured with world with the critically acclaimed trio The Bad Plus and recently has recorded with Ron Carter and Lee Konitz amongst others. They eventually lost touch after Banff and both pursued their separate paths in music. Martin decided to contact Ethan after a ten year gap and they began playing together again and in 2002 performed as a duo in the UK and Scotland and released the cd My Ideal (Basho Records), a ballad album of standards. Now 15 years later they have recorded a quartet album of Martin's compositions for release on the Ubuntu Music record label in 2018. This band also features bassist Fred Thomas and drummer James Maddren.
