Jazz on 3 - Huw Warren's tribute to Hermeto Pascoal

Jez Nelson presents a concert from Welsh pianist and composer Huw Warren, inspired by celebrated Brazilian musician Hermeto Pascoal. Warren first heard Pascoal's music in the 1980s and has described the project as a celebration, tribute and musical 'thank you'. The group plays a mixture of Pascoal's tunes and original compositions, with bassist Dudley Phillips and Martin France on drums, plus special guest appearances from Iain Ballamy on sax and Maria Pia de Vito on vocals. An artist inspired by folk music as well as jazz, Pascoal first received international attention through his appearance on Miles Davis' album Live-Evil in 1971. He is a prolific composer and highly regarded as a leading figure in post-bossa Brazilian jazz.
