Martin Pyne

Born:

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

Martin Pyne David Beebee: Ripples

Read "Ripples" reviewed by John Sharpe


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


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.

Busnoys: Weaving The Spell

Read "Weaving The Spell" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


Sometimes the world is easy to understand. Mostly, it's a puzzle. Take magic, for example--how does that work? Ask Busnoys, a vibes/bass guitar/drums trio from Bristol in England's West Country. The band seems to have at least some insight into the workings of magic. Its third album, Weaving The Spell, is full of relaxed, spacious, charms ...

Busnoys: By Tapering Torchlight

Read "By Tapering Torchlight" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

The fact that the band is based in Bristol in the west of England, home to Massive Attack ...
