Butcher Brown returns with the funky jazz of “Montrose Forest,” featuring Nicholas Payton. The Richmond, Virginia, band laid down a warm and soulful offering that has guitar work reminiscent of Wes Montgomery that supports Payton’s bluesy trumpet solo. The single is a tribute to a studio in the woods of their hometown, where they made music in the past. They were delighted to work with Payton again and shared their feelings about their latest collaboration in a press release.
“Having Nicholas Payton guest on the track is an honor and a full circle moment for us as Butcher Brown. We first linked with him 10 years ago on our first album, ‘All Purpose Music.’ Nicholas Payton is among the last of the ‘Young Lions’ – that golden generation of jazz artists that had a direct link to the legends, like Louis Armstrong. We’re hyped to spin the block again and tell a new story with him on this single.”
Butcher Brown released their Solar Music album last year. The band is currently touring Europe, and they have a show in their Richmond hometown on December 7th at the National.
