Description
Brooklyn based trumpeter Kenny Warren's wide-ranging, adventurous musicality has led him on diverse explorations across the musical landscape, from jazz to Americana and from folk to free. 'In The Heat' features a suite of compositions that he wrote for bassist Matthias Pichler (Wolfgang Muthspiel, Lorenz Raab) and drummer Nathan Ellman-Bell (Olli Hirvonen, Yuhan Su).
This trumpet-led version of the classic trio format was chosen to maximise the potential for freedom for these accomplished and unclassifiable improvisers. 'In The Heat' is the sound of an artist bringing together the many strands of his creative personality, using the flexibility of the trio format to write without boundaries, and trusting to the perfect understanding between his collaborators to improvise without fear. Like a good hang with old friends, these three strike a balance between pouring their hearts out and just kicking back and having a good time.
Personnel: Kenny Warren (trumpet), Matthias Pichler (bass), Nathan Ellman-Bell (drums)
Press:
"Kenny Warren's puckish phrasing and brittle tone place him in a lineage that begins with Don Cherry. This album is bookended by folksy trumpet frolics and a cavorting riff from double bass." - Jazzwise
"A musically rich, brilliant repertoire from this multi-faceted trio whose instrumental adventures liberate great creativity and dazzling improvisations...Splendid." - Radio REC
