Broken Beat/Nu Jazz
Overture 1
Yardley Suite

Tenderlonious led jazz quartet, Ruby Rushton, return with a brand new
limited 7” single, a swift response to their highly acclaimed ‘Ironside’
album released back in April of this year.
These two new tracks continue to push the band’s sound into new territory;
‘Overture 1’ is a brand-new composition from Ruby Rushton keyboard player
Aidan Shepherd. Taking inspiration from bands like Weather Report and Soft
Machine, its explosive introduction leads you to a dub-like breakdown,
creating an open space for Shepherd to let loose his synthesizer for some deep
space, Headhunters’esque exploration.

‘Yardley Suite’ is a song first conceived by band leader Ed ‘Tenderlonious’
Cawthorne back in 2012. Having lied dormant for several years it felt like an
appropriate time to pull it back out the bag. It’s a composition inspired by
Cawthorne’s solo work as an electronic producer, under his alias
Tenderlonious.

Always wanting to merge his various approaches, ‘Yardley Suite’ is the perfect
mix of Jazz and House. With a steady four to the floor beat and snappy horn
lines its sure to work its magic on dancefloors around the globe. Having
focused on improvisation and more “open” compositions in the past, the bands
new direction is geared towards tighter, more groove-orientated
arrangements. This exciting new material is yet further evidence that this is a
highly prolific band at the top of their game, continually evolving, stretching
out their own unique sound across the full jazz spectrum.

This is a, one off run, limited edition 7” single. 300 copies only with bespoke painted artwork from Lorna Robertson. No repress!
