*The Matt Butler Quartet (MBQ) blends groove and jazz mpro. MBQ is committed to open form structures and attentive group meditations on written and spontaneous themes. This kind of
laboratory setting can, with experience and dedication, produce
mesmerizing art, and Butler and company are well enough
connected to the pleasures of funk that they have something to offer even audiences who might ordinarily run in terror at the idea of Free Jazz.
