He has released 4 albums as band leader and his music has been heard on Radio 2,3 and classic FM. His latest quartet album ‘The Nightingale and the Rose’ – a suite of original music based on Oscar Wilde’s Children’s story of the same name – was released on Jellymould jazz.

“Butterworth speaks in [a] lyrical and melodic fashion. There’s a wistful, almost elegiac quality about the music…” Ian Mann The Jazzmann

“UK-based Mike McInerney studied shakuhachi with Iwamoto… he sits patiently singing amid vast soundscapes, until he unleashes complex spirals of flute trills, looping contrails across the sky.” Clive Bell, The Wire, music magazine

Marcus Penrose is a double bassist and composer who has been a member of the London music scene for 25 years, heard regularly at the city’s major jazz venues (The Vortex, 606 Club and The Jazz Cafe). He's also played with a diverse range of artists at venues and festivals from the North of Scotland to Norway and Sweden and from the Swiss Alps to Cyprus to the Persian Gulf and many points between. He has recently collaborated with visiting international touring artists, Finland’s Olli Soikelli and France’s Adrien Moignard. He continues to write and perform with his trio, Aurelius which has received international recognition.

Steve Day “…in his jazz-formed music, the wild leap from a theme to [the] unexpected… is incontrovertibly the right one…” Roger Dennis, Wylde Publications
