The Cohen-Rutkowski Project

The Cohen-Rutkowski Project is a high-energy acoustic jazz ensemble combining a large proportion of original compositions with classic pieces from the tradition. Listeners have drawn comparisons to the compositionally-oriented Dave Brubeck group, groovy hard-bop groups such as The Jazz Messengers as well as genre-expanders like the Roy Hargrove Quintet. The core group is a jazz quartet co-led by Rich Cohen (saxes) and Chris Rutkowski (piano) and is often joined by renowned vocalist Sandy Lomax (known as Indy's Queen of Scat), who adds both a vocal and improvisational voice to the group's front line.
