About the Artist
Rabnett 5 is Rich Rabnett (guitar), Ian Cox(keyboards), Kiyoshi Elkuf(saxophone), Dan Gaucher (drums)and Mike Kennedy (bass) and theyhave been playing music together for almost seven years. Composition continuesto be the acknowledged strength of this band, but as relevance continues tointrigue and excite the players, you can expect live, realtime improvisation ona broad spectrum of themes.
