Mick Hutton (born 5 June 1956 in Chester, UK)[1] is a British jazz musician (upright bass, electric bass, and Steel Pan and Cuatro) and composer.

Career

Hutton is known from the British jazz scene by his work with musicians like Harry Beckett (Pictures of You, 1985) and with Julian Argüelles, Iain Ballamy, Django Bates (First House), the Chris Biscoe Sextet and Bill Bruford's Band Earthworks. In addition, Hutton worked throughout his career with Alan Barnes, Peter Erskine, Tina May, Jim Mullen, John Scofield, Alan Skidmore, Tommy Smith, John Taylor, Stan Tracey and Kenny Wheeler. In 2002 he played with Robin Williamsons ECM-album Skirting The River Road, and the same year he played in a trio with Martin Speake and Paul Motian (Change of Heart, ECM).

A hand injury forced him to abandon the upright bass. He started working as an amplified electric bassist, percussionist and synthesizer player and as a composer. He is currently playing with his own band including saxophonist Andy Panayi, pianist Barry Green and drummer Paul Robinson. With his own self named Quartet including Iain Ballamy (saxes), Ross Stanley (piano) and Paul Robinson (drums) he frequently visits venues around the world.[2]
