about
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Gwen Hughes is the city’s busiest genre-busting singer. With her bands, The Retro Jazz Kats and The Continental Dance Orchestra, 4 CDs to her credit, and voted Atlanta’s favorite jazz artist on multiple occasions, Hughes prods and provokes in every performance. Jazz? Pop? Post-modern melodic posturing? Funkified low-carb song styling? Well, you won't find her in the sale bin with Perry Como, that's for sure. The Southern belle "love child of Muddy Waters and Peggy Lee" is, in the end, best described as a fusion artist--a fusion of blues to bluegrass, rock to jazz.Her current hometown is Greenville,and current band members are:In Europe: Tomi Purich: Drums Maasej Kovacavic: Piano Giovanni Toffoloni: Bass Ziga Stanonic: Guitar Mirko Cisilino: Trumpet Angelo Chiocca: saxophone In the USA: Mike Hinton: Drums Steve Cunningham: Guitar Brian Hall: Bass Mace Hibbard: Saxophone User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
