Living My Dream is more than just an album title for Jonathan Butler’s newest release – it’s more of a credo or even mantra, if you will. Pursuing his multifarious musical muses ranging from contemporary jazz to slick upscale soul and soul-stirring gospel, Jonathan’s dream is both prolific and wildly entertaining. This release is equally populated with his supple six-string stylings and trademark engaging, sinuous vocals. Jonathan was fortunate to enjoy both writing and playing with the late George Duke (“Be Still”) along with bass great Marcus Miller. (Liner note fan alert: George and Marcus both played, wrote and produced on Miles Davis’ classic Tutu record.) Guests also include saxman Elan Trotman, daughter Jodie and reeds wizard Katisse Buckingham.
