Product Description Brian Hughes, live in concert from Spaghettini's, in Seal Beach, California. About the Actor Brian Hughes has carved out an impressive career in the contemporary jazz arena. His first two albums, Between Dusk and Dreaming and Under One Sky, firmly established him as one of the foremost guitarists and composers in the genre, perfectly blending his fluid and emotive guitar style into an exciting, melodic mix of Latin, Jazz and World Music compositions. After being picked as a winner in JAZZIZ Magazine's Guitars On Fire competition his subsequent recordings Straight To You, One 2 One, Shakin Not Stirred and Along the Way have received critical acclaim and major radio air play from coast to coast. With his sizzling fret work and infectious compositions the media are accurate in saying: Both a great artist and an accessible one. His passion is so obvious, intense and contagious, that his audience shares it. Brian has received the SOCAN/BMI Jazz & Instrumental Composer of the Year Award seven times from 1997 to 2009 and the title track from Shakin Not Stirred was featured on an episode of HBO s Sex and the City . Also well known for his 22 year parallel career performing and recording with world renowned vocalist Loreena McKennitt, Brian s skills as a musician (guitars, oud, bouzouki) and his production talents are evident on her current platinum recording An Ancient Muse , the concert DVD Nights From The Alhambra , filmed in Granada, Spain and her past seven multi-platinum recordings. Brian has just completed a World tour with McKennitt performing 83 concerts in 12 countries around the globe and has appeared with Loreena on the Late Show with David Letterman and received a Juno (Canadian Grammy) nomination as Producer of the Year for his work on the platinum selling Loreena McKennitt album The Visit .

Great Concert
I had never heard of Brian Hughes, even though I have been listening to Jazz since the late 70's. I am always trying to pick up on good Jazz Music, and found this concert to be full of energy and good musicianship. This is a must have DVD.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Amazing concert !!! Intimate venue, maybe a little too intimate...lol.....but the band played as if they were the opening act at the Montreal international jazz festival...Great solos from the band members, great atmosphere and they played such great songs from the array of CD's that Brian has. I have hundreds of concert DVD's and this one is definitely one of the best !!!

Absolutely great purchase from this brilliant artist. The picture and sound quality is top grade. I unwind to this dvd on a chilled weekend after an active week. Then just unwind down to the brilliant sounds. For those who love their jazz with a unique rich sound, then I would highly recommend Brian Hughes. The man and his group are A1!
