Trudi's Songbook: Volume Two

Tenderlonious led jazz outfit Ruby Rushton drop their second album of 2017. Following on from the success of Trudi's Songbook: Volume One, the band is back with their highly anticipated Volume Two.

Comprised of a further six cuts, the listener is treated to another journey through modern day jazz. Stand out tracks include "Tisbury Truckin'" which is a stunning opener! Starting with an atmospheric soundscape, it unexpectedly drops into a neck-snapping hip-hop groove with a punchy melodic line before effortlessly sliding into an up-tempo, afro-beat inspired rhythm with strong solos from trumpet and keys in tow.

"Song For Christopher" is a heartfelt ballad, which begins with a touching flute solo and continues to take the listener on a journey through the emotions, ending in a crescendo of optimism - a fitting tribute to the late Christopher Rushton.

Trudi's Songbook: Volume Two is a fantastic album, which further solidifies Ruby Rushton's place on the modern jazz scene. This is a must-have album that would hold its own in any jazz enthusiast's record collection - make sure you check it out!
