In & Around Spain

Lonely at the Top," is the debut album of Norman Hogue & the International Blues Machine, a jazz quartet led by Hogue, an American jazz trombonist who has lived in Spain for over two decades. After spending time in Tenerife and Barcelona Hogue now lives in Madrid, where he brings his music to Madrileños on the slowly (but surely) expanding jazz scene in the Spanish capital. One of the venues where Norman Hogue & the I.B.M. can often be heard performing is Bogui Jazz, whose owner, Dick Angstadt, we interviewed in a program we broadcast this past February 22nd.
