About the Artist
Rabnett 5 is Rich Rabnett (guitar), Ian Cox(keyboards), Kiyoshi Elkuf(saxophone), Dan Gaucher (drums)and Mike Kennedy (bass) and they have been playing music together for almost seven years. Composition continues to be the acknowledged strength of this band, but as relevance continues to intrigue and excite the players, you can expect live, real-time improvisation on a broad spectrum of themes. "Leopardism" the newest recording, documents a distinct shift in the sound of the band. For the first time on record, the band goes electric,featuring Ian on Hammond Organ, and Mike on both electric and double bass. Thealbum was recorded in two short days in August 2007 under the intrepid supervision of NYC's Scotty Hard.The result is a savory brew of quirky melodies and thick pulse that simultaneously pays homage to Human Feel, and Booker T. Thegroup has deep roots in the West Coast music scene, as the members are involved with projects that cover the spectrum of indie rock to chamber music,
