“His effortless poise and crisp, attractive classically-trained sound is one of his great strengths... Butterworth can capture a sense of atmosphere with well-placed notes and treads artfully between drama and intimacy and romantic sentiment and dry inquisition. Butterworth is a young pianist deserving more attention.”

“This long awaited trio album is probably Butterworth’s best so far... beautiful melodies... astonishing technique...stretching out joyously... I’d urge everybody reading this to check them out if you can... Will Butterworth is steadily becoming
an increasingly important presence on the UK jazz scene.”
