Butcher Brown makes “solar music,” forward-thinking, expansive hybrids of jazz and hip-hop
infused with elements of funk, soul, rock, and every other sound under the sun. Their southern
psychedelic fusion has made them jazz festival mainstays who could just as easily headline
shows with the biggest names in rap and rock. In addition to touring with jazz giant Kamasi
Washington and sold-out European shows, they delivered an immersive NPR Tiny Desk
Concert in 2021, every improvisational leap therein stemming from the synergy and
inexhaustible musical curiosity of the band’s five members: drummer Corey Fonville,
producer/multi-instrumentalist DJ Harrison; bassist/composer Andrew Randazzo;
trumpeter/saxophonist/MC Marcus “Tennishu” Tenney; and guitarist Morgan Burrs.
Between classes at VCU’s jazz program and performances at local clubs, all congregated at
Harrison’s home studio: Jellowstone. Here they recorded their 2014 debut album, All Purpose
Music, a jazz odyssey that laid the foundation for a catalog that includes southern soul and rock
excursions, a raucous live album, jazz-funk fusion, and an Afrobeat tribute. Butcher Brown
turned a corner with their Concord Jazz debut, #KingButch, blurring the lines between soul-jazz
and boom-bap. The band’s latest album, Butcher Brown Presents Triple Trey featuring
Tennishu and R4ND4ZZO BIGB4ND, deconstructs big band jazz and reshapes it in their image,
another brilliant blend of contemporary genre-smashing injected into the past.
