RDLplus

Active since:

RDL+ is building an original sound that embodies the members’ collective ideas, inspirations, and histories.  With their 2014 debut album, Más P’alla Va, the group focused on writing and playing original compositions, while taking both lyrical and open improvisations on the pieces.  While maintaining an aesthetic stemming from traditional jazz, the group experiments with odd meters, timbre, form, and melodic ideas.  Nonetheless, the exploratory nature of the group is always rooted in the essence of the composed or arranged pieces. Led by Doug Lee (bass), Luis Salcedo (guitar), and Ruthie Dineen (piano), the trio moves from solo to large ensemble based on artistic inspiration.
