Pianist and composer Huw Warren releases his third album for Babel with a band featuring New York virtuoso violinist Mark Feldman and Austrian bassist Peter Herbert. Huw has already proved himself a richly melodic, unpredictably minimalist and infectiously rhythmic composer besides being a thrillingly lyrical improviser whose highly unique pan-diversity is regarded highly across the often exclusive worlds of jazz, classical, and folk. His recent other work extends to being musical director/pianist for leasing contemporary folk diva June Tabor for well over a decade, as well as being a co-leader of jazz quartet Perfect Houseplants. A new commission for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and choir will be premiered in October 2004. He has also played regularly with Billy Jenkins and The Fun Horns (with 2 CDs on Babel) and vocalist Christine Tobin. Huw has recently appeared on Radio 3's In Tune presenting versions of songs from the new album. The new album Hundreds of Things a Boy Can Make evokes the wonders of boyhood discovery in the kit-building pursuits that were illustrated in the pre-Playstation era of the Boys World Annual. This is reflected in Huw's compositions' intriguing collage-like form of which NY violinist Mark Feldman's passionate virtuosity is a compelling feature. Huw's compositions build a uniquely unadulterated interface between jazz improvisation, twentieth century classical and folk music.
