HubBub

HUBBUB. Commotion. Turmoil. Frenzy. Words with roughly the same meaning. Only Hubbub proclaims this creative enterprise. Faces intent, keeping it hot, limbs a blur. Fusion fuelled influences are the driving force. Not a voice to be heard. Instruments say it all. And it’s all within. A set that’s subtle and explosive in turn. Delivered by five guys coming together from parallel orbits. Five guys who’ve paid their dues and sustain the collective smile. Journey with us. ••• HUBBUB WHO? Just six guys named: •••WYNN. Wields the guitar with singular pedigree and style. Cuts through the barriers of jazz, rock, funk, ballady things and all else that finds a home here. ••• CHRIS. A veritable luminary of, yea, a variety of saxes. A man who’s a first call player with prominent names, and working credits anyone would cherish. ••• DEREK. 'Rocketman.' The thinking fan's trumpet. Boldly flugelhorns where nobody has flugelhorned before. ••• ROB. A music-making art savant. This time forsaking his beloved sax to deliver a walloping punch with characteristic aplomb behind the keyboard. ••• NIGEL. The bassist with all the credentials. Plays for the piece and takes it by the scruff of the neck to drive it on. ••• PETE. The experienced kit man who plays around a good bit.
