Ruckus Quartet, Crystal Choi

Ruckus perform new music for your gustation. The quartet of David Ward (Guitar) Chris O’Connor (Drums) Jeff Henderson (saxophone) and Eamon Edmundson-Wells (Double Bass) perform compositions for improvisation by Ward, alongside curated delicacies from the jazz tradition. From twisted tango and carnivalesque romps to dishevelled swing and free tunes, Ruckus' music has been described as melodic, humourous, rhythmic and joyous.
