Percussive Arts Society (USA) ‘Percussive Notes’ review (John Baldwin)
"...The bright, yet tonal sonorities and the unrelenting, almost in-your-face rhythmic development combine to make the trio a good opener or closer for a university junior-level recital or chamber music concert.”
Percussive Arts Society (USA) ‘Percussive Notes’ review (John R. Raush )
"...Hughes’ “Reflex” for two marimbas and vibes make attractive additions to the mallet repertoire.”
