Jazzkvartetten Ruby Rushton er et af de ledende, mest fremsynede og produktive bands der er opstået fra Londons frembrusende jazzscene. De har været i fronten af den britiske jazzscene siden udgivelsen af deres debutalbum Two For Joy tilbage i 2015, et album der introducerer en ny generation til jazz i Storbritannien. Deres musik har rødder i spirituelle koncepter fra jazzhelte som John Coltrane og Yusef Lateef, og influeres af hip hop, afrobeat, bebob, jazz-funk og lyde fra den britiske undergrund. I 2019 udgav bandet deres fjerde og til dato mest succesfulde studiealbum Ironside, som The Quietur beskriver som ”levende, fejlfrit udført og totalt glædesfuld fra ende til anden; det er svært at bede om mere”.

I 2020 fortsatte de i produktiv facon, og fulgte Ironside op med to succesfulde 7” singler ”Yardley Suite/Overture 1” og ”Sun Khosi/Chrysalis” med den sidste beskrevet af Clash Magazine som ”en stor inspiration, et afrobeat farvet jazz nummer der udstråler liv, optimisme og formål. Endnu et stykke fremsynet jazz musik fra Ruby Rushton, der på en eller anden måde formår at lyde både medfødt klassisk og fremtidsorienteret på samme tid”. 2021 mødte bandet med den Jazz FM & Gilles Peterson roste EP Gideon’s Way, der ledte til højprofil festival slots og optrædener ved bl.a. We Out Here Festival, Ronnie Scott’s, Footprints og Istanbul Jazz Festival.

Bandet har modtaget stor ros og støtte fra nogle af de vigtigste tastemakers, DJ’er, radiostationer, magasiner og aviser i verden inklusiv Gilles Peterson, Hughie Morgan, Jamz Supernova, Benji B, Jamie Cullum, Tom Ravenscroft, Jazz FM, Pitchfork, The Guardian, The Evening Standard, Mojo, FACT og mange flere.

SUPPORT:
Mass er et band i tæt kontakt med dets nysgerrige og eksperimenterende natur. De tre unge musikere fra henholdsvis Hylke og Lemvig stræber målbevidst efter at bevæge sig ind på uberørt territorium inden for musik. De eksperimenterer og placerer jazz i en moderne kontekst gennem deres kompositioner og fælles klang. Når det kommer til komposition søger musikken åbne rum mellem formerne, hvor intimitet og intention trives. På lydsiden smelter kontrabassen, saxofonen og de tætte, syngende trommer sammen i en lige og energisk kommunikation. Gennem bandets moderne lyd ønsker Mass at præsentere musikkens ekstremitet og vildskab, dens samtidige skrøbelighed, for så bredt et publikum som muligt. Sidste år trådte bandet frem på scenen med udgivelsen af debut-EP'en "shitpigeon", indspillet i Finland Studio. Udgivelsen resulterede i en nominering til Danish Music Award (DMA Jazz) i kategorien "New Act".

ENGLISH:

Tenderlonious led jazz quartet Ruby Rushton are one of the leading, most forward thinking and prolific bands to emerge from London’s thriving jazz scene. They have been at the forefront of the UK jazz scene since the release of their debut album ‘Two For Joy’ back in 2015, an album credited with introducing a new generation to jazz music in the U.K. Their music is rooted in the spiritual concepts of jazz heroes such as John Coltrane and Yusef Lateef, whilst adopting influences from hip hop,

Afrobeat, bebop, jazz-funk and sounds of the U.K. underground. In 2019 the band released their 4th studio album and most successful to date “Ironside”, described by The Quietus as “vibrant, flawlessly executed and totally joyous throughout; it's hard to ask for more”.

In 2020 they continued in prolific fashion, following up “Ironside” with two sell out 7” singles “Yardley Suite/Overture 1” and “Sun Khosi/Chrysalis” with the latter described by Clash Magazine as “an absolute inspiration, an afrobeat tinged jazz stepper that exudes life, optimism, and purpose. Another piece of forward-thinking jazz music from Ruby Rushton, who somehow manage to sound both innately classic and future-minded at the same time”. 2021 saw the band land with the Jazz FM & Gilles Peterson lauded EP Gideon’s Way, which led to high profile festival slots and performances at the likes of We Out Here Festival, Ronnie Scott’s, Footprints and Istanbul Jazz Festival.

The band have received high praise and support from some of the key tastemakers, DJ’s, radio stations, magazines and newspapers in the world, including: Gilles Peterson, Hughie Morgan, Jamz Supernova, Benji B, Jamie Cullum, Tom Ravenscroft, Jazz FM, Pitchfork, The Guardian, The Evening Standard, Mojo, FACT & many more.

SUPPORT:
Mass is a band in close contact with its curious and experimental nature. The band's three young musicians from Hylke and Lemvig, respectively, strive purposefully to enter untouched ground in music. They experiment and put jazz in a modern context, through their compositions and common timbre. On a compositional level, the music seeks open spaces between the forms, where intimacy and intention flourish. In terms of sound, the double bass, the saxophone and the close, sizzling drums come together in an equal and energetic communication. Through the band's modern sound, Mass wants to present the music's extremity and wildness, its simultaneous fragility to as wide an audience as possible. Last year, the band entered the stage with the release of the debut EP "shitpigeon" recorded in Finland Studio. The release resulted in a nomination for the Danish Music Award (DMA Jazz) in the “New Act“-category.
