Contemporary jazz project features Martin Speake on alto saxophone, Nikki Iles on piano, Duncan Hopkins on double bass and Anthony Michelli on drums and cymbals. It was recorded in October 2000 at the end of a highly successful UK tour and despite its length of 78:32 mins took just over 5 hours to lay down. The vibrancy of the playing and the close rapport between the musicians is evident from the first track.

Press Quotes
Secret is an album of jazz of a very high order from a group that puts to shame many much-hyped American bands
—Andrew Vine, Yorkshire Post
Martin Speake plays some of the most gorgeous alto sax sounds in contemporary jazz...What is most impressive about the album is how four members of this brand new partnership are so finely attuned to each other's musical minds and nimble fingers
—Phil Ehrensaft, The Whole Note, Canada
It's acoustic quartet playing a very long way up the league
—John Fordham, The Guardian
An album equally strong on melody and harmony, rhythmic intricacies and broadly phrased beautifully 'breathing' passages.....spacious cross-rhythms and purposive drive, distilled reflection and cooking swing distinguish this excellent, superbly recorded release
—Michael Tucker, Jazz Journal
