Jazz on 3 Innovation Award

Winner - Huw Warren

An expansive and confident composer, pianist and bandleader, Huw Warren consistently advances the fusion of jazz, classical and folk music via musical rather than technological innovation. These can be heard especially in his 100s of Things a Boy Can Make project and his collaborations with violinist Mark Feldman and Austrian bassist Peter Herbert.

Jason Yarde

Saxophonist, composer, arranger and producer, Jason Yarde continues to innovate with ambitious projects from large-scale work like his direction of the Future Sounds of Jazz to the small but impactful duet with percussionist/vocalist Marcina Arnold at the Wapping Project and his own solo work.

Evan Parker

Now into his seventh decade, Evan Parker continues to demonstrate an unparalleled progressive creative outlook evidenced this year by a diversity of projects including his Lines Burnt in Light tour and CD, the Electro-Acoustic Ensemble, his rewarding collaboration with Dave Green and the output of his Psi label.
