Description
English saxophonist John Butcher is without question the most jaw-dropping technician we’ve ever heard wielding a tenor, equally capable of brawny assault and textural meditations at the very edge of audibility. What makes him so compelling, though, is the taste and poetry behind everything he does; lately he’s been involved in detailed investigations of unusual acoustics, close-miking and amplification to further extend his aural palette. At Issue he’ll play solo and in a duo with cellist Okkyung Lee.
