The Gaz Hughes Trio – Nuclear Bebopalypse Tour
Get ready for a musical journey like no other as The Gaz Hughes Trio unveils their latest opus, "Nuclear Bebopalypse".
Officially launched on Tuesday 20th Feb at London's Pizza Express Jazz Club, the album draws its influences from the history of jazz, with echoes of pianists Horace Silver and Bud Powell with a touch of Ellington too, but these are no more than reference points as the compositions all stand on their own merits. This is brilliant and accessible jazz music for all tastes.
Positioned at the vanguard of the new wave of British jazz talent, the Gaz Hughes Trio are a group to take note of for 2024.
Gaz Hughes is a renowned jazz drummer and band leader, who first gained wide public attention as the original drummer in the Matthew Halsall Band. With three acclaimed albums under his belt, Hughes has built quite a reputation with audiences around the country. He has played a significant role in the early recordings of the Gondwana label and has been a highlight on the album “On The Go”, which won the Best Jazz Album of the Year at the Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards in 2012, and was nominated for the Best Jazz Album MOBO Awards in 2011.
As a sideman, Gaz has performed with an impressive array of jazz artists, both in the UK and internationally, including Scott Hamilton, Harry Allen, Marshal Allen, Greg Abate, Alan Barnes, Bruce Adams, Mark Nightingale, Tony Kofi, Ian Shaw, and many others. Additionally, he has also collaborated with a number of rock and pop artists such as Patti Boulaye, Suzi Quatro, Ray Quinn, Rick Guard and Kristyna Myles.
