Patrick Butler Blends Bass Clarinet & Vibraphone In Jazz-Funk on "PrimeMover"


Patrick Butler’s release, PRIME MOVER, was conceived to blend two of his favorite sounds, the bass clarinet, and vibraphone. The jazz funk sound of Butler is augmented by these unusual instruments.
“I always dug every record Bennie Maupin played the bass clarinet on. It just made the track," Butler says. In 2010, Butler cut Transcender with Joshua Harris on bass clarinet. The sound was so funky he had to do it again.

This is that summertime, 70's Jazz fusion sound which features plenty of Rhodes keys combined with Funk instrumentation to put you in a zone. "Holy Motion" is my favorite from Patrick Butler’s third jazz CD release "TRANSCENDER". This is a pleasant Jazz sound which flows as a river of guitars, Rhodes pianos, Hammond B3 organs and double track bass clarinets, reminiscent of the Miles Davis sessions with Bennie Maupin or Paul Humphrey's 1973 album "America Wake Up".
