The Hue is aggressive progressive instrumental rock. Seamless, flowing compositions with furious musicianship and a sense of elation rarely found among progressive rock practitioners are the staple of The Hue’s ever-expanding catalogue. The quartet brings the audience along for a barrage of rock’s ferocity cut with jazz’s meticulousness & sense of melody, all tied together with funk sensibilities that lead to unforgettable crests. The Hue is the sonic version of building a precisely symmetrical museum for Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Return to Forever, and Miles Davis during the Bitches Brew era with just a dab of Tortoise, immediately torching it to the ground and starting over again.
“The Hue are forging ahead with a new style of fusion that is equal parts rock's excitement and cruch and jazz's experimentalism and harmonic sophistication. I hope that Beyond Words is indicative of the direction in which both progressive rock and modern jazz are headed.”
Paul Abella - Chicago Jazz Magazine
“More complex yet melodically sophisticated than a debut has any business being.”
Cal Roach - JamBase.com
“A gripping run through improvised sheets of heavy metal with liquefied and bluesy jazz.”
Bill Whiting - An Honest Tune
