Description
The 2022 album for the Gaz Hughes trio featuring Andrzej Baranek (Piano) and Ed Harrison (Double Bass). They worked together on Gaz’s “Plays Art Blakey” album and tour. The opportunity to play every night helped the three musicians to form a tight bond and it felt like a natural decision for the trio to have a creative outlet of its own.
Gaz loves arranging music for ensembles and has enjoyed bringing new ideas to the Piano trio format and working collaboratively with the group. Gaz also wanted to showcase his melodic drumming concept. For years he has been delighting audiences by tuning his drums to specific pitches and quoting the heads of tunes during solos. This album is the first time he has arranged and recorded music for this concept.
The album was released on the 6th May 2022.
