Musician

While taking its name from a 15th century Burgundian composer, Busnoys is very much a 21st century jazz group. The band is fronted by vibraphone player Martin Pyne, a passionate and engaging improviser, who makes imaginative use of electronic processing to take his instrument into unexpected sonic territories. Pyne is a member of innovative improvising trio "Dangerous Kitchen" with saxophone legend Stan Sulzmann and percussionist Simon Allen, and is also has an ongoing collaboration with sax man Tony Woods and vocalist Nette Robinson. The trio's repertoire is based around Pyne’s striking compositions, which more often than not draw listeners in by telling some kind of a story, as well as the occasional judiciously chosen standard

Hi Res Heart: Move Fast And Mend Things

Read "Move Fast And Mend Things" reviewed by John Sharpe

May 11, 2026

On its second outing, British outfit Hi Res Heart trades the stitched-together aesthetic of its debut for the friction and immediacy of shared space, sharpening both its collective instinct and sonic identity. Where the earlier release documented remotely recorded parts later assembled in the studio, Move Fast And Mend Things convenes the ensemble in a single ...

Martin Pyne David Beebee: Ripples

by John Sharpe
April 24, 2023

British vibraphonist Martin Pyne's decision to pair with David Beebee's electric piano engenders an unusual combination for the largely freely improvised Ripples. With its fusion associations, the sound of the Fender Rhodes seems slightly retro in this sort of setting. But equally unusual is the degree of overlap in the tonality; the keyboard could be the ...

Martin Pyne: Behind The Mist

Read "Behind The Mist" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

by Bruce Lindsay
March 30, 2017

Ten solo vibraphone improvisations, recorded in single takes with occasional electronic processing on three tracks, form the content of Martin Pyne's Behind The Mist. Pyne creates cool, spacious, crystalline sounds--music that seems to emerge organically from its inspirations.
