Hugh Ferguson – ”A-D-D” – Fusion jazz-rock with style!
author: Dag Fjellby
This is imho more jazz-fusion than jazz-rock. But Hugh Ferguson for sure knows how to play the guitar. As mentioned this is a must for fusion fans. Ferguson’s playing reminds me a lot of Allan Holdsworth and Frank Gambale. And – to be compared with Holdsworth and Gambale is no drawback. I said the guitar playing is amazing, but so are the band that are backing it up. The drummer and the bass player are very competent. I do think the compositions is a bit repetitive, but not at the point where it gets dull, no way!
I will highly recommend this CD to folks who are more into jazz-fusion then too jazz-rock. It sounds great and the production is good. In my opinion I’ll give 4 STARS (PLUS) for this one.

A must have for all you fusion fans!
author: Bob Forest
Hugh captures the essence of fusion with his non-stop lightning licks along with the outstanding bass lines from Brian Wright and tasteful drumming of Roger Carter. The recording quality and mix is, by my ears, dynamicly sound and when that upright bass comes in, WOW. Some may find the compositions a bit repetative but there's plenty to keep you interested and wanting more.

Power Trio Fusion at its Best
author: Jeff Gutenberg
This is an excellent high-energy set of blistering hot jazz-rock fusion. Ferguson's liquid legato solo style and angular compositions will instantly remind listeners of Allan Holdsworth, while Wright's electric upright bass injects a little bit more jazz flavor to the mix, and Carter is a pure percussive powerhouse in the mold of Chad Wackerman and Vinnie Colaiuta. Power trio fusion doesn't get much better than this, folks.
After you listen to the sound clips here, for an extra-special treat, go to the guitarist's web site and watch the live video clips of his trio burning through several tracks from A.D.D. The playing is hot enough to melt your screen, so protective eyewear is recommended. :^)
