Paul Rushka

"As It Happens" 

 

 

“Paul Rushka, through his innovative combination of enhanced lyricism, thoughtful intensity, and instrumental cohesion, has crafted an auspicious debut CD as notable for its compositional strength as its improvisational beauty."      

Andre White, Canadian jazz pianist, drummer and educator

 

 “a postmodern Milt Hinton, [with] a powerful pulse that never flags”   

Paul Barton – All About Jazz

 

 

Award winning double bassist and composer Paul Rushka is pleased to present his debut album as a leader, As It Happens.

 

The CD features Paul’s sonorous tone and deep grooves while showcasing the quintet’s formidable improvisations and conceptual unity. Influenced by the music of Kenny Wheeler and Bill Evans, his interactive, exploratory group performs music rich in lush harmony

and melodic motion.

 

As It Happens is a showcase for Rushka's original compositions, penned specifically for his intuitive and mesmerizing group. Communication

is at the centre of this music; individual voices entwine and textures unfurl, creating a shifting embroidery of contemporary jazz.
