Tenderlonious led quartet Ruby Rushton release new 7inch single ‘Overture 1′
The London-based quartet Ruby Rushton, led by flautist Ed Cawthorne aka Tenderlonious and featuring trumpeter Nick Walters, keyboardist Aidan Shepherd, and drummer Tim Carnegie kick off 2020 with a great new limited-edition 7inch single on 22a.
The A-side track features the Weather Report and Headhunters-inspired jazz fusion composition “Overture 1.” Written by Shepard, the song blends spacey synths and flute melodies over 70s era prog-like rhythms and dub breakdowns.
The funky jazz-house cut “Yardley Suite” is included on the flip. Originally conceived back in 2012 by Tenderlonious, this four to the floor track finally sees the light of day, featuring a tight uptempo groove that’s primed perfectly for the dancefloor.
Overall, another brilliant release from one of the most forward-thinking jazz quartets over the past half decade. We can all just hope that this band has many more releases like this one in the coming year.
