Acid Jazz presents the second volume of their Jazz Sessions series with Everything's Peachy, the debut album from the Matt Berry Trio, featuring Matt Berry joined by band members Phill Scragg and Graham Mann. When not creating numerous indelible characters on 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 the 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, performed daring stunts and manoeuvres, and ultimately crashed to his own demise. The album takes it's name from his response to air traffic control. Conveying, in turn, 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, it creates another moment of musical beauty from Matt's curious and ever-evolving musical mind.
