Wednesday October 14th…The long-standing tradition of Jazz Week in Rehoboth continues with the return of Mr. Fred Hughes & his Trio. The masterful work by Fred at the Piano is beautifully complemented by Bassist Amy Shook, & Frank Russo on Drums. This threesome delivers their tightly crafted arrangements leaving every Jazz Fan wanting more, or at least wanting a copy of the The Fred Hughes Trio latest CD – “Love Letters” to go home with! Says Rich Germaine of Jazz Radio Network: “Love Letters is another first class performance of timeless standards from The Fred Hughes Trio. It’s romance that swings, gotta love it”.

The featured Artist on Wednesday the 14th for both shows with The Fred Hughes Trio is the sensational South African Jazz Vocalist, Vuyo Sotashe.
Winning first place in the vocal competition at the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Fest and second at the Montreaux Jazz Fest, Vuyo is getting rave reviews. A recent article in the Sunday magazine of The New York Times on Vuyo confirms what listening audiences already know, he is a voice to be heard.

Fred Hughes remarks, “Infusion of his native South African rhythms into his interpretations of classic jazz standards sets Vuyo apart from his contemporaries. Our set at the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival was shear joy.”
