Huw Warren - Everything In Between (2019)

Album launch for Huw’s latest recording on the prestigious Italian label Cam Jazz.

Everything in Between is an expansive work combining new music from Warren and Phillips with their shared love of reinterpreting Brazilian classics. With an emphasis on lyrical song forms, this music crackles with interplay, fun grooves, new sound worlds and deep emotion.
