Huw Warren brings his nationally touring Trio lineup to Bangor, featuring long term collaborator,bassist Dudley Phillips.  
Trio Brasil is award winning Welsh pianist Huw Warren’s celebration of his  lifelong love affair with the music of Brazil.

Re-interpreting familiar and less familiar Brazilian classics by Hermeto Pascoal, Tom Jobin, Joyce, Guinga, Egberto Gismonti, Pixinguinha and more… The incredible diversity of Samba, Baião, Forró, Frevo, Maracatu, Choro and lyrical song are all celebrated with an infectious groove heavy approach. Dazzling virtuosity meets deeply lyrical poignancy in music that can make you laugh, cry and want to dance.

Trio Brasil follows in the footsteps of his critically acclaimed Hermeto+ recording of 2009 on Basho records, which presented Hermeto’s music alongside new compositions from Huw.
 
Bassist  and composer Dudley Phillips is one of the UK’s most creative versatile musicians and has played with Robert Wyatt, Bill Withers, Mark Knopfler, June Tabor, Cedar Walton, Marc Almond, John Harle, Tim Robbins, and Amy Winehouse;as well as the cream of the UK jazz scene over recent years.
 
 

“The cascading, long-lined tune of Harmonia sem Chronologia, the glowing romanticism of Desencontro Certo and the glittering dance of Jegue are irresistible”

John Fordham, Guardian

“full of the rhythmic bounce and harmonic subtlety that Brazilian music often blends together in gorgeous new ways. There is some jaw-dropping pianism, a beautiful solo feature for the bass, and constantly energising drums. But mainly, there is a lot of joy in bringing these tunes alive.” 

Jon Turney
