About
Jim Butler Jazz Group
"Jim Butler…a wonderful altoist…keep swingin!" – Donald Bailey (Blue Note recording artist), March 2009
Jim Butler, saxophonist and California native, has a musical background that includes jazz, rock and roll, blues, and more. Jim received a Doctorate in Music at the University of Texas at Austin. He has appeared professionally with such diverse entertainers as Mel Torme, Crystal Gail, The Drifters, Rosemary Clooney, and Sam Moore (musician who wrote and performed many of the songs in the movie "The Blues Brothers"), and many others.
The Jim Butler Jazz Quartet: Best-loved standard jazz with a contemporary sound. A top-notch Bay-Area jazz quartet! The group was formed in 2002 and has been performing regularly on the West Coast and in Asia ever since.
They have recorded 3 CDs: Journeys (2003); Live in Tokyo! (2005); and Night of a Thousand Years (2009). This latest recording was produced by Stephen Hart (he recorded for McCoy Tyner, Dave Brubeck, and many others).
