Lots of touring ahead for the Gaz Hughes trio by the look of it - the retro drummer who plays in the Art Blakey mould has a new album about to released. Entitled Nuclear Bebopalypse this is north of England player Gaz' third trio album and features 1950s-soaked originals written in the mould of the time with Hughes alongside pianist Andrzej Baranek and bassist Gavin Barras to be released on 2 February. The sprightly opener 'The Message' is our track of the week.
Dates include Tallulah's, New Brighton on 25 Jan; the Railway, Stockport, 28 Jan; Southport Jazz Festival, 3 Feb - with lots more dates listed on Hughes' website
