Pre-Order 26/06/26 - Matt Berry Trio: Everything's Peachy (Vinyl LP)

This item is available for pre-order only and will be dispatched on or around its release date (26/06/26)

Acid Jazz presents the second volume of their Jazz Sessions series with the first album from the Matt Berry Trio, with Matt Berry joined by band members Phill Scragg and Graham Mann on Everything’s Peachy.

When not creating numerous indelible characters on the screen, Matt Berry has forged a remarkable, diverse and acclaimed career as a recording artist. Following the widely lauded Heard Noises (2025) and a collaboration album with KPM Simplicity (2023), he returns in yet another musical guise as leader of a studio-based mid-century jazz adjacent trio.

Everything's Peachy is a 12-part instrumental suite, inspired by ‘the Sky King’ (American folk hero Richard “Beebo” Russell), who stole a large aircraft with no flight training, performing stunts and manoeuvres, before crashing to his own demise, and takes its name from his response to air traffic control.

Conveying variously the chaos, nostalgia, regret and acceptance of Russell’s maiden flight, it is an open, freeform and flowing composition, drawing influence from the electronic experiments of Miles Davis and the melancholy of Satie, to create another moment of musical beauty from Matt’s curious and ever-moving musical mind.

The Jazz Sessions series was conceived by Acid Jazz founder Ed Piller as a return to the jazz roots of the label. The first release came from former Style Council drummer Steve White, with his first album as leader Soul Drums, further releases will follow over the next year.
