Synopsis

Product Description
With Hopeful Romantic David Hughes makes a powerful statement as a composer and as a musician. The album exhibits the many facets of roles and sonic possibilities the bass guitar possesses . Undeterred by the risk of creating a 'for bass players only' album, he has succeeded in featuring the bass in both accompanying and soloistic roles while creating music that listeners with many different tastes will enjoy. The writing spans funky, retro inspired jazz-rock to semi-symphonic modern jazz and it is apparent that Hughes has developed a sort of signature sound. Creating rich arrangements with rhythm section, string backgrounds and featured instruments the album exhibits an organic, natural quality far from the synthetic, loop-based mashups that are commonplace in contemporary jazz today.
