Magna Carta Suite features Hutton’s long established trio with drummer Asaf Sirkis, who brings “a wide palate of colours, a full dynamic range and an optimism and calmness which is essential on both the studio and live dates and bassist Yuri Goloubev, who can “both lead and accompany like no other bass player I have met” and whose roots in classical music mean his sound is sonorous and distinct.
The album was released last summer with performances in Ronnie Scott’s International Piano Festival, the 606 club, and an on Radio 3’s InTune with Sean Rafferty.
