CD BACK BURNER

Description

'Back Burner' is the debut album by guitarist Martin Budde, released on February 21, 2025. This digisleeve-packaged album features a collection of predominantly original compositions that reflect Budde's roots in the modern jazz sounds of the past 50 years. The sole cover, Joni Mitchell's 'My Old Man,' hints at his early influences from playing Americana, country, and folk music with his father in the Alaskan wilderness. Alongside longtime collaborators, bassist Ben Feldman and drummer Xavier Lecouturier, Budde crafts a sonic space filled with introspective passages and modern angles, while always maintaining a sense of uplift and openness. 'Back Burner' is more than just an outstanding album; it is a declaration of arrival for an artist seeking his own path in the musical world.
