Press reviews
"You should know of master-bassist Peter Herbert from the half
dozen great discs that we've reviewed over the past few years,
solos, duos (w/ Dave Tronzo) and even a bass sextet. British
pianist, Huw Warren, is a name that I only vaguely remember,
yet he has worked with June Tabor & Mark Feldman, has three
solo discs on Babel, a duo disc with Pete Whyman on FMR and is
in a band called the Perfect Houseplants. This Peter Herbert's
second duo disc with a pianist, the first was a decade ago
with Peter Madsen. That one was great (I just found a copy
recently), but this one is even more extraordinary. Huw plays
inside the piano as well as and the duo do a fabulous job of
creating suspense and more mesmerizing sounds. Some of the
pieces are quite beautiful and lyrical with some superb and
exquisite piano from Huw. At times both players will rub their
respective instruments with various objects creating strange
and eerie sounds, often evoking cosmic spirits being cut
loose. Sometimes Huw will mute the strings with his hands (?)
and provide some fascinating percussive sounds. He is a master
of these sounds and the duo often sound amazing exploring and
combining their sounds together. This is quite a marvelous duo
that should get the recognition they well deserve."

Huw Warren is one of the most original voices on the current
new music scene. As a composer and multi instrumentalist, his
work is difficult to categorise, finding fans and admirers in
the worlds of Jazz, New Music and World Music. Born in Swansea
in 1962, he studied piano and cello; and first worked as a
teenager playing Hammond Organ in the Working Men's Clubs of
South Wales. Having discovered jazz by chance from radio
broadcasts, Huw also became interested in the English
experimental music scene after studying with John Tilbury in
London from 1980-83. Huw performed regularly with seminal 80's
big band Loose Tubes, and has collaborated with English singer
June Tabor for over a decade; touring extensively with her as
pianist/arranger and recording several CDs. In 1989 he
co-founded the award-winning ensemble Perfect Houseplants
(with Mark Lockheart, Dudley Phillips and Martin France). Huw
has also worked with Kenny Wheeler, Billy Bragg, Steve
Arguelles, Julian Arguelles, Billy Jenkins, Christine Tobin,
Eddi Reader and African guitarist Mose Se ôFan-Fanö. Huw has
released three albums on the Babel Label 1997's ôA Barrel
Organ Far from Homeö, was a suite of pieces for a nine-piece
ensemble, based on early photographs by English photographer
John Topham; 2001 saw the release of his critically acclaimed
solo CD "Infinite Riches in a Little Room"; and 2004 saw the
release of ô100's of Things a boy can make ö , a collaboration
with US violinist Mark Feldman and Austrian bassist Peter
Herbert. Huw won the coveted award for Innovation at the 2005
BBC Jazz Awards and has recently released a well-received set
of Welsh hymn tunes on the CD
