After many years as a sideman playing live for some of the top musicians in the southeast and tracking drums for artists worldwide, Brian Hudson ventured out on his own to create a jazz/fusion project with the goal of capturing the essence of the pioneers of jazz fusion such as Weather Report, The Crusaders, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea, along with more modern bands like Spyro Gyra, Yellowjackets, and others. Brian partnered with producer, composer and musician Randy Hoexter to write and arrange a series of instrumental jazz fusion songs. The result was the 2017 release of the full length album Next Level and the 2021 release of a 3-song EP entitled AHAYA. Both releases received extensive radio airplay worldwide, thousands of streams and rave reviews from publications all around the world. Next Level peaked at #3 on Roots Music Report’s Jazz Chart and #7 on the NACC Top 30 Jazz Chart and songs from AHAYA hit #1 on the Roots Music Report’s Fusion Chart!
