Release and reception

An English Songbook was released by Chiaroscuro Records.[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that the performances showed "customary finesse, though over the length of a CD Bunch can seem becalmed with the tempo set a steady musing lope. One at a time, still delightful."[1] The AllMusic reviewer concluded that "Every track is a pure delight for fans of solo piano."[3]
