Yesterday we woke up to some uplifting news and a date to look forward to. Richmond jazz-fusion 5-piece Butcher Brown announced their forthcoming album Letters From The Atlantic, scheduled for a release on March 28th via Concord Jazz.
Formed in 2009 and rooted in the vibrant music scene of Richmond, Virginia, this powerhouse ensemble showcases the immense talents of Marcus Tenney on trumpet and saxophone, Morgan Burrs on guitar, Corey Fonville on drums, Andrew Randazzo on bass, and DJ Harrison weaving his signature touch on keyboards.
A highly anticipated follow-up to their critically acclaimed record Solar Music, the first taste of Letters From The Atlantic is called "Ibiza". With hopes to take us somewhere warm, the song is an effortless fusion of hazy funk energy, Mediterranean rhythms and spacey brass work.
Also, I can certainly imagine how beautifully this could be morphed into some smooth lo-fi house remix.
