Butcher Brown
Richmond's garage-jazz five-piece fusing '70s fusion, boom-bap, and P-funk into a loose, heavy groove — a rhythm section that could back anyone and chooses to lead.
Butcher Brown are a band from Richmond, Virginia, working at the meeting point of jazz, funk and hip-hop production. Their sound draws on 1970s electric fusion and soul-jazz alongside the drum feel and sampling logic of boom-bap, and the group is as comfortable in a studio-producer role as in a straight jazz setting.
Members include drummer Corey Fonville, bassist Andrew Randazzo, keyboardist DJ Harrison, and Marcus Tenney on trumpet and saxophone. Their live shows lean on extended grooves and improvisation, and individual members have worked widely as producers and session players outside the group.
