I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Plaid Pants, by Cyger & Butterworth and it's cool. Opening with Latin soaked, Pequena Diabla, Ron Cyger on sax has the lead with a smooth and moving melody, supported by Brent Butterworth on bass, guitar and ukulele. Solid opener. Clunky has a cool, suspenseful melody with Butterworth creating a framework for melody on guitar, joined by Cyger on flute and Dimitris Terzpiis on drums. Cyger takes the first solo on flute followed by Butterworth on guitar. Returning to sax, Cyger blows a soulful solo and Butterworth a solo on bass. This track is unusual and interesting. Poydras St. has a springy rhythm and Butterworth on guitar and Cyger on sax are tight on a unified melody, chased by Terzpiis on drums with a New Orleans flavor. Cyger takes an extended solo on sax expanding the melody and Butterworth on bass takes it a few steps further before rejoining for a melodic reunion. Bye-Bye Blue Whale opens with Butterworth on bass and rich guitar chords but quickly develops with the most melodic track on the release featuring soulful sax work by Cyger. Warm, double time guitar soloing by Butterfield gives the track a more bop feel. Wrapping the release is light and breezy, LP with Butterfield laying down the melody on guitar joined by Cyger on flute. Breaking on sax, Cyger further develops the track and Cyger rocks in on guitar. A tight drum exhibition by Terzpiis and a melodic refrain closes the release.
