With compositions inspired by bucolic childhood summers in rural Texas, drummer Rudy Royston and his uncommon quintet ride catchy melodies across delicate orchestrations rife with conversational interplay. Nostalgic? Yeah—but also completely fresh.
Rudy Royston, drums; Gary Versace, accordion; John Ellis, bass clarinet/saxophones; Hank Roberts, cello; Yasushi Nakumura, bass
$15 General Admission, $10 Students and Seniors. Also available at People's Records, Wildwood Music, Wildberries, and The Works.
On October 26, 2018, Greenleaf Music will release 'Flatbed Buggy' by drummer Rudy Royston. Royston, a first-call drummer with Bill Frisell, JD Allen, Dave Douglas and a host of other jazz greats, has honed a thoroughly engaging voice as a composer and bandleader with his compelling debut 303 (2014) and the raw and bracing trio follow-up Rise of Orion (2016).
