Patrick "Spike" Hughes (1908-1987) was a British jazz musician, composer and music journalist. Spike was a wonderfully multi-dimensional musician, playing the double bass, composing operatic scores, arranging jazz recordings and writing books on topics ranging from gardening to Toscanini's music.

His musical career spanned the period from the mid 1920s to 1933, culminating in his visit to New York City where he arranged 3 historic recording sessions involving Benny Carter's band with Coleman Hawkins.
