Double bassist and singer Charlie Pyne releases a new album of originals this spring. A graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Pyne's Nature Is a Mother arrives 6 years on from the player's first recording, Dancing Shadows. Personnel with Pyne on the new album are tenor saxist Luke Pinkstone, pianist Liam Dunachie - heard by marlbank on a QT hunch playing with Leo Green in 2021 - and drummer Katie Patterson. Pyne begins touring next week with a London date on 4 March at the Pizza Express Jazz Club followed by gigs in Luton and Ware later in the month, Sheffield in April, Winchester and Watford in May and Birmingham in June.
