'About Me'
I recently finished writing,arranging,producing and performing on a CD with the great oboist ANNA FISHER. The cd is called "YIN YANG". You need to take a listen to the cool sound that we're getting on an oboe and English horn rubbing against my luscious keyboard styling. http://www.soundclick.com/annafisherandjawgehughes
No one instrument is more or less important than another. Our music has lots of fresh ideas we're sure you'll appreciate.
"Come On Back" by Jawge and The UKB on the Orgen Music Label, is still available!!! Jawge Hughes is a native of St.Thomas USVI,now based in Los Angeles CA.He has toured with most every Reggae star. Jawge's authentic reggae style and his vast electronic musical knowledge, along with all his friends that performed on the CD makes it a must for listeners into the whole caribbean music experience.
The whole album is a long musical exploration, from upfull Ska ,Dance Hall, Fusion Reggae to the deadly One-Drop Roots Reggae Style, As well as some judiciously placed samples. Jawge said "I always try to be adventurous with music, keeping it simple,with some challenging surprises in it"
Featured on this CD is the Legendary late Joe Higgs
