Hanson-Ughi

Nathan Hanson and Federico Ughi have been playing as a duo since a few days after Ughi’s arrival in NYC from London in 2000. Their deep musical affinity has enthralled audiences in the US and Europe, and has provided accompaniment to dance and visual art installations/performances. Their partnership extends beyond the duo setting to The Fantastic Merlins, a quartet which includes cello and double bass; and Options, a quintet led by Ughi which includes another saxophone as well as electric guitar and bass. Hanson and Ughi will release their debut duo recording in the fall of 2006.
