Hum-Holy-Warren Reunion Trio Join Ottawa jazz pianist Peter Hum for a concert starring two long-time friends of his who happen to be stellar musicians. At 10,000 Hours, Peter will convene and much-anticipated reunion with bassist Steve Holy, flying in from Vancouver to play, and the renowned jazz drummer and Guelph resident Ted Warren, perhaps best known for powering Rob McConnell's Boss Brass and other legendary Toronto jazz bands in the 1990s and since then.

Peter, Steve and Ted spent many happy hours in the rehearsal rooms of McGill University and in Montreal's student-friendly restaurants when they lived in Montreal in the late 1980s. They formed their musical styles there almost four decades ago, but have of course grown immensely as musicians and people since then. They're looking forward to getting the band back together at 10,000 Hours, performing each other's music for the first time since 1989. Some of the music they will play at 10,000 Hours will be featured on Peter's next album, to be recorded in 2025 with Ted on the drummer's throne.

Peter Hum has been a leading figure in the jazz scene in Ottawa, his home town, since the early 1990s. He has released three well-regarded albums as a leader, including Ordinary Heroes (2020), which received a four-star review in DownBeat magazine. Self-taught as a jazz pianist, he considers himself very fortunate to have performed with such Canadian greats as Pat LaBarbera, Reg Schwager, Phil Nimmons and Sonny Greenwich. In recent years, he has performed his music in top jazz venues from Vancouver to Charlottetown, frequently collaborating with local musicians. His four recordings and touring have been supported by the City of Ottawa's Creation and Production Fund, the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts. In addition to his musical pursuits, Peter has been a journalist at the Ottawa Citizen since 1990.
