Ruby Rushton

Ruby Rushton has been played on NTS over 40 times, featured on 42 episodes and was first played on 21 August 2015.

Ruby Rushton are a London-based jazz outfit led by multi-instrumentalist, producer, and 22A label boss Tenderlonious (Ed Cawthorne). They are at the spearhead of South London's 21st century "new jazz" movement, playing a highly original meld of Yusef Lateef- and John Coltrane-influenced modal post-bop, soul-jazz, Afro-beat, and Latin grooves often melded to funk, electronica, and hip-hop. Its somewhat fluid membership has circled around, from a quartet to a septet and back again, over a series of albums and singles that began with 2011's widely acclaimed Two for Joy. The group's core lineup has remained consistent with Cawthorne on flutes, saxes, percussion, and synths, trumpeter Nick Walters, and keyboardist Aidan Shepherd. Though initially a jam- oriented outfit on their debut offering, they developed into a band that relies on tight arrangements as much, if not more than, improvisation, as evidenced by 2019's Ironside.
