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!!!

Inside the gorgeous Caribbean Paradise Scene album cover reads: "A masterful blend of Reggae, and Dancehall with an aromatic hint of Jazz, a potpourri of essential island flavors is what fans have come to expect from Jawge & The UKB. Enter a world that vibrates with the rhythms of the azure blue seas of St. Thomas. Immerse yourself in the pulsating energy that is both sensual and hypnotic."

"Dance the night away to the signature beat that made Mr. "Jawge" Hughes, the reggae master who has supported acts such as Bunny Wailer, Judy Mowatt, Joe Higgs, The Mighty Diamonds, Leroy Sibbles, Stranger Cole, Freddie McGregor, The Itals, Pato Banton, Dennis Brown, The Wailing Souls to name a few."

Jawge Hughes is a native of St. Thomas, has toured with most every reggae star. Jawge's authentic reggae style and toasts fuse with his vast eclectic 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 sounds, Dance hall rhythms, Fusion Reggae to the deadly one-drop Roots Reggae style, As well as some judiciously placed samples. Featuring on this CD is the late Joe Higgs who drop the most wicked and energetic Nyabinghi drumming that propelled the tracks to another level. A level that one would expect from the master who single handily thought the Wailers (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh. Bunny Wailer) among others. Jawge says " I always try to be adventurous with music. Keeping it simple. But there is always some challenging surprises in it."
