Butcher-Stoffner-Corsano

Line-up: John Butcher sax, Florian Stoffner gtr, Chris Corsano dr

Three men who are quite capable of going through the roof if they want to. Each of them has always had a sense of delicacy, of the overtone over the moment of attack and of the spaces between the sounds. Corsano's rhythms, even when he plays freely, are like cobwebs on a foggy morning. Butcher is a master of subtle overtones, the accidentals that surround the tones and come back from the walls and the audience. Stoffner has the same precision in touch and the same sense of absolute detail. The guitar is an instrument of extraordinary refinement, full of secret sounds: sighing, strumming like a music box, emitting great chords.
