CRITICS CHOICE

Ben Folds
Formerly the head honcho with the Ben Folds Five, this geeky character from North Carolina is a top-notch songwriter, a sweet singer and a piano player of uncommon gifts; with his accompanists on bass and drums, he drifts between tender ballads and big keyboard-bashing classics. Hammersmith Apollo, London W6 (0870 606 3400), Tues 23 Jan; City Hall, Sheffield (0114 278 9789), Thurs 25 Jan; Academy, Glasgow (0870 771 2000), Fri 26 Jan; Apollo, Manchester (0870 401 8000), next Sat.
Martin Speake's Change of Heart
The saxophonist plays music from his recent, acclaimed album in company with renowned Swedish pianist, Bobo Stenson; expect cool, oblique sounds. Pizza Express Jazz Club, London W1 (020 7734 3220), Tues-Thurs.
