‘Two for Joy’ was South London combo Ruby Rushton first album recorded from 2011-14. It features the original 4 piece line up including the incredible Yussef Dayes creative drumming plus that distinctive Horn section. If anything this has a slightly tougher feel than ‘Trudi’s Songbook’. ‘Room With a view’ which spans nearly 15 mins over two parts is a masterwork of Hard hitting Jazz, Those of us who lived and worked in SE in the 80’s would find Peckham as an unlikely source of a view with such inspiration. ‘Spritely Does it’ is another creative upper tempo gem. ‘Two For Joy’ and ‘Aidan’s Song’ are good multi paced tunes. ‘Where are you know pt 2’ has a Latin tinged groove but is a tease at only 2 ½ mins . Ruby Rushton are band that hold your attention and make great Jazz music that you can really feel.
