about

During 2023, composer and percussionist Martin Pyne decided it was time to explore a format he hadn’t used before: the classic jazz lineup of piano, bass and drums. Martin enlisted two regular collaborators - pianist David Beebee and bassist Marianne Windham - and formed a new ensemble, Small Blue. Two days of relaxed recording yielded a treasure trove of tunes from which Martin selected the very best for this new album, The Stealthy Moon. Of the twelve tunes on the album, nine have never been recorded before, while three have appeared in different formats. It’s a largely intimate set but ranges far and wide in mood and tempo, taking in heartfelt ballads, mysterious grooves, evocative atmospheres and melodic swing along the way.

Pyne says “this music sits at the more straight ahead end of what I do. It was a delight to collaborate on this recording with David and Marianne, wonderful musicians and great friends who played my tunes beautifully.”
