Southampton Jazz Club with the Martin Pyne Trio

 Martin Pyne trio

Small Blue is a new band using the classic jazz piano trio line up. It features David Beebee on piano, Marianne Windham on bass, and Martin on drums. A debut album by the trio released in February 2024, quickly receiving radio play on JazzFM and other stations, as well as garnering some glowing reviews. The repertoire features many of Martin’s compositions, and the sound is intimate and atmospheric.

Reviews have drawn comparisons with Bill Evans groups and suggested that many of the tunes have “an air of Ellingtonia”. (Jazz Views ). “Subtle and elegant tunes crisply delivered” (Marlbank)
