The John Randall Quintet play young, modern, forward thinking music that, whilst always influenced by the musical traditions of jazz, sees the raw energy of rock and the deep groove of hip hop sit alongside abstract textures and electronics. Complex rhythmic and harmonic ideas are made to sound simple and catchy. It is music of contrasts, where a sub bass rock out can dissolve within seconds into a rubato ballad. Underpinning all of this is the musicality of a band of virtuosic improvisers and the concept of playing honest music that does not draw boundaries between different musical genres or traditions

:rotfl: Thanks, RCB. What a description. I had to look up "rubato" it means

"A practice common in Romantic compositions of taking part of the duration from one note and giving it to another. It involves the performer tastefully stretching, slowing, or hurrying the tempo as she/he sees fit, thus imparting flexibility and emotion to the performance."

Now we all know. Nothing too pretentious, then?
