London jazz quartet Ruby Rushton release new jazz dance 7inch single ‘Sun Khosi’
The London-based quartet Ruby Rushton, led by composer, flautist, and producer Tenderlonious (aka Ed Cawthorne) and featuring trumpeter Nick Walters, keyboardist Aidan Shepherd, and drummer Tim Carnegie have just released a new limited-edition seven-inch single featuring two incredible Afro-tinged jazz-funk tracks including “Sun Khosi” and “Chrysalis”.
Named after one of the most famous rivers in Nepal, “Sun Khosi” is a tribute to Cawthorne’s father, who spent many years in Nepal working as a Gurkha Officer. This feel-good jazz groover is also the first recording featuring Tenderlonious on alto flute.
Composed by keys and synth wiz Aidan Shepherd, the b-side track “Chrysalis” is inspired by the playing of pianist and British jazz legend John Taylor. The track blends funky driving backing grooves with cosmic synth lines, and soulful flute and trumpet melodies.
Overall, another brilliant release from one of the UK’s most forward-thinking jazz groups.
