About:
Improvised music from a trio of three leading voices from the US and the UK.

Trumpeter and composer Kenny Warren grew up in Denver and has lived in NYC since 2006. He has made over a dozen records as a bandleader and solo artist, has performed internationally, and was recognized by Downbeat Magazine as a raising star in 2025 and 2026. In 2024 his trio Sweet World with cellist Christopher Hoffman and drummer Nathan Ellman-Bell released an LP on Out of Your Head Records. Sweet World has a follow up record due in 2027. He has also made three LPs with his avant-country outfit Laila and Smitty, two jazz records for the London based Whirlwind Recordings, and a series of covid-era solo records.

Warren's 20 plus years in Brooklyn have produced a body of work in conversation with generations of the city's musical artists. Current NY based collaborations include work with the original-song-driven band Slow Tiger, an improvised collective with Carlo Costa and BlankFor.ms, and a duo with Gregg Belisle-Chi. Warren is also a frequent collaborator with the Berlin based artist Jeremy Viner and the Denver based band Mountain Coast.

Warren is a member of the Webber/Morris Big Band, Stephan Crump ensembles Passerine and Slow Water, and the Angelica Sanchez Nonet. Other recent side-person appearances include work with Tony Malaby, DoYeon Kim, Chris Speed, Caroline Davis, Jamie Baum, Brad Shepik, Joe Morris, Nate Wooley, Noah Garabedian and Brian Krock. Warren is also a longstanding member of the brass band Slavic Soul Party who has held a weekly residency at Barbès in Brooklyn for over 22 years.

Kenny will be joined by two stalwarts of the UK and European improvised music scene, Andrew Lisle and John Edwards.
