“Hobbs' music is humble, human, approachable and at the same time a frighteningly deep exposition of musical concepts. Then there's the staggering showcase of contemporary instrumental technique. Babe Ruth comes to mind: Hobbs swings hard and hits home runs." Stanley Jason Zappa.
“As the Crow Flies" with Aych will be released by Relative Pitch Records early in 2012.
The program will be a stunning end to an exceptional year of performances. Among the highlights were visits by Bill Elgart
