Tobias Delius (bd clarinet, t sax) John Hughes (double bass)

Tobias Delius and John Hughes have been playing together since 2010. The two have played in a trio with Han Bennink, as well as in larger ensembles (WHL play MONK!, Echoes of South Africa, Concentric Circles and The Rythmic Mystery Quartet). As a duo, Delius and Hughes create astonishing sounds and let songs from their repertoire of Nebula-like sound clouds appear.
US-born bassist and composer John Hughes has been a fixture on the Hamburg jazz and free improvisation scene since 1998. He has organized numerous festivals and concert series, including the award-winning Multiphonics Hamburg, and currently curates the Audible Instances series at Westwerk. A versatile double bassist, Hughes works with the quartet Gravelshard and Winntizki/Hughes/Lücker Play MONK, as well as in various duos and trios with renowned musicians. As a composer, Hughes uses traditional notation, which is evident in the music of the piano trio Hosho, as well as combinations of graphic scores and text, as in Panaudastic Phasing, a site-specific conceptual composition that explores spatial acoustic properties and the history of places.
