5.0 out of 5 stars
If you love the bass you'll adore this!, December 12, 2003
This review is from: Swoosh (Audio CD)
I just LOVE this album! This is a phenomenal debut from a bassist with an unusual range in the bass playing and the solos sound from intimate romantic to melodic or funky. The album starts with a Nordic wind and has a certain Scandinavian touch to the melodies at times. (I'm a Swede, so I should know!) After this intro this Marcus-Miller-type bass player just sweeps you into his universe of smooth jazz. The album features is outstanding guest artists such as David Benoit, Allen Hinds, Greg Mathieson and Wilton Felder from the Jazz Crusaders and there are wonderful homages to artists who Hughes obviously adore, like Benoit, Larry Carlton and Marcus Miller. This cd definitely belongs to the collection of any smooth jazz fan like me! It's a real treasure for bass lovers!
