Editorial Reviews
Allan Kozinn, New York Times, January 31, 2003
"Curtis K. Hughes's "Avoidance Tactics," {was} a fiery work... Mr. Hughes had Ms. Bob pounding the keys vigorously..."
Randy Nordschow, American Music Center SoundTracks, May 2004
"AVOIDANCE TACTICS... sounds like... cocktail music you'd play if Cecil Taylor, Morton Feldman, and Iannis Xenakis were coming over..."
Album Description

Hughes, sure to appeal to fans of the avant-garde, free jazz, microtonal music or Balinese gamelan, as well as to anyone who thinks the distinction between "UPTOWN" and "DOWNTOWN" should be considered irrelevant.
