Andrew Butt Trio +: Blueberry Ash
On this outing he is accompanied by the stylish guitar work of Toby Wren, whose solo on "I Love Boiled Eggs" is a standout, and the brilliant pianism and extended soloing of Kellee Green on all tracks, where her flowing lines and colourful chords seem to be as natural as breathing. The trio is augmented by a variety of bassists, drummers and horn players. These musicians blend into the mix extremely well and their contributions are first rate alongside the saxophone of Butt as he cruises through this horn fest with enthusiasm, faultless technique and impeccable feels. This is an uplifting and frankly heartfelt reflection of the time Butt has spent absorbing both the past and future of jazz, while sporting a wonderful collection of tunes.
