Huw V Williams - Hon (2016)



The wide range of musical styles represented here is amazing: strongly beautiful lyrical melodic lines, folk, energetic funk and jazz-rock are combined with free jazz and absolutely exciting improv. Accordion, prepared piano and kalimba (at least it sounds like this) add some special flair.

The very impressive debut album of young British musicians led by bassist and composer Huw V. Williams makes a really good start.
