"Occurrences is a superbly judged recording, imbued with warmth and optimism... bearing comparison with Brian Blade's Fellowship band, Kurt Rosenwinkel's groups and Ben Allison's similarly suite-like narratives."
The Irish Times

'Burton's compositions touch on universal feelings and emotions and his band crafts the music with rare delicacy and grace...[Occurrences] is melodically strong and engaging as it moves through this suite of seven tunes."
All About Jazz

"[Occurrences] is a disc to play often - there are so many nuances to absorb once is nowhere near enough..."
Bebop Spoken Here

"One of the brightest talents to emerge from Scotland in recent years"
The Daily Telegraph

"Bass-led, highly melodic modern jazz from this emerging bandleader/composer...London-born, New York based altoist Vinson and Irish jazz guitar star McKnight add solo excitement to Burton's sophisticated tunes"
Time Out, London

"the pleasingly melodic music has a refined and subtly crafted feel... and is carefully structured in tempo and mood in its unfolding sequence within the span of the disc...Burton has recruited a very fine band for the project, with New York-based saxophonist Will Vinson and Irish guitarist Mark McKnight both making powerful contributions alongside Steve Hamilton's excellent work on piano and Fender Rhodes. London-based drummer and rising star James Maddren completes a strong unit"
**** 4 Stars, The Scotsman
