Ruby Rushton are a London-based jazz outfit led by multi-instrumentalist, producer, and 22A label boss Tenderlonious (Ed Cawthorne). They are at the spearhead of South London's 21st century "new jazz" movement, playing a highly original meld of Yusef Lateef- and John Coltrane-influenced modal post-bop, soul-jazz, Afro-beat, and Latin grooves often melded to funk, electronica, and hip-hop. Its somewhat fluid membership has circled around, from a quartet to a septet and back again, over a series of albums and singles that began with 2011's widely acclaimed Two for Joy. The group's core lineup has remained consistent with Cawthorne on flutes, saxes, percussion, and synths; trumpeter Nick Walters; and keyboardist Aidan Shepherd. Though initially a jam- oriented outfit on their debut offering, they developed into a band that relies on tight arrangements as much, if not more than, improvisation, as evidenced by 2019's Ironside and 2025's Legacy!
