Quotes:

• "Most fascinating of course, throughout the music of Matrix, by the Fred Hughes Trio, is that despite the language being ‘spoken in the tradition’, it is different, with its driving, often volcanic energy, continual exploration and adventure, rapt moments of mystery and ingenious orchestration bristling with percussive harmony from both Amy Shook on bass and Frank Russo on drums."

• "A delightfully swinging offering from a solid trio that swings, swings and then swings some more. But its not just the swing that makes this offering so engaging, it is the chemistry between the players, the technique and the joy you can hear in the interaction, pouring out from the notes."

        EMusic.com review of Matrix

• "Filled with swinging solidarity, and the reimagined works of Johann Sebastian Bach, Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, Bill Evans, George Gershwin, Herbie Hancock, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, The Fred Hughes trio delivers a stunning formula that will leave you humming the tunes long after the disc is done playing. Solid chemistry between the players, engages the listener to a deeper experience. Not just the standard fare, but a matrix of solid performances and fluidity of ideas."

         Grady Harp, Amazon.com review of Matrix

• "Hughes really displays a command of the keys that is spectacular in his control of harmony and sense of time."

• "Hughes possesses that ever elusive combination of heart and technique, well done maestro, well done."

         Carmel Desoto, NoDepression.com review of I'll Be Home For Christmas

• "Hughes piano style has a clear rhythmic articulation and hard bop influence with a bright swinging feeling. He solos with a strong vocabulary of bebop and soulful blues melodies and always makes an impactful statement."

         EMusic.com review of I'll Be Home For Christmas

• “Love Letters is another first class performance of timeless standards from The Fred Hughes Trio. It’s romance that swings, gotta love it”.

• “Talent,technique and taste.”  

• “He has the technical ability, the deftness of touch, and full control of the instrument in the manner laid down by such keyboard giants as Art Tatum, Errol Garner and Oscar Peterson.”
