London based Jazz combo Ruby Rushton follow up their lauded 2015 release with ‘Trudi’s Songbook Vol 1’, the first of two volumes in the series. Fans of Kamazi Washington will revel in the funky edged jazz and spaced out funk that the combo cook up. The building, sprawling ‘Moonlight Woman’ has a hancock feel in places while ‘Elephant And Castle’ has a pacey Latin Rumba tempo. ‘Trudi’s Mood’ is a delightfully laid back, stop start slab of funky jazz while ‘Prayer For Yuseef’ allows the band to indulge in their spiritual side. ‘Where Are You Now’ has a poly-rhythmic feel with a wiry sax snaking throught while ‘The Camel’s Back’ is drenched in moments of minimal quiet and full on free expression. Brilliant stuff.
