Martin Pyne Composition / Drums / Percussion
David Beebee Piano
Marianne Windham Double Bass
Small Blue is a piano trio in the modern jazz tradition, with straight ahead swinging tunes and beautiful ballads, as well as African inspired grooves – but always with a twist, led by drummer/composer Martin Pyne, featuring pianist David Beebee and bass player Marianne Windham. The band will play music from their new album Furrow, released on Discus Music.
Expect music that is by turns lyrical, atmospheric, groovy, and mischievous. The trio have recently been gigging across the country, and picking up great reviews for their album, which can be heard here.
“Superb contemporary jazz” Jazz Views
“Small Blue might be led by a drummer but this is one of the best ‘piano trio’ albums that I’ve heard in a long time” JAZZMAN
“high grade Bill Evans Trio territory … each track has its own picture, each track turns its own curve, put all together and Small Blue have themselves a minor masterpiece.” Steve Day
