Martin Speake alto sax, Alyson Cawley tenor sax/clarinet, Rob Luft guitar and Will Glaser drums/ percussion. Not just influenced but almost determined by non-Western forms, eg Indian, Arabic and Turkish. Most of the numbers (Busy? and Beautiful Nightmare for example) were written by Speake and the rhythms facilitated a particular kind of soloing, getting into a groove, playing around with melody rather than chord changes. Glaser was particularly impressive.
