The Fred Hughes Trio

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND AND SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD.   Fred
Hughes has performed, conducted and presented workshops nationally and
internationally for over three decades.  His early training includes
keyboards and low brass in community bands and jazz ensembles across his home
state of Pennsylvania.  By age 25, Fred had long been recognized as an up
and coming conductor and world class jazz pianist for his work with the First
Army Band, Fort Meade, Maryland and the Eighth Army Band in Seoul, Korea.

In 1981, Fred formed the jazz group Just Friends and
recorded six albums for Oasis/EMI Records in Seoul, Korea. Just Friends
performed for sold out houses and to live radio and television broadcasts
throughout the Korean Peninsula.  During the same period, Fred served as
the rehearsal conductor and jazz coach for the MBC Pops Orchestra in Seoul,
Korea.  Fred returned to his native
Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1985 and performed throughout the eastern U.S. with
his jazz trio, Alternative, before joining the United States Army’s premier
touring jazz ensemble, the Jazz Ambassadors.  As pianist and soloist for
the Jazz Ambassadors, Hughes has performed in all fifty states, Canada, Mexico,
Japan, Europe and at such prestigious jazz festivals as the Newport, Montreux,
Nice and North Sea Jazz Festivals.
