On rings, Ronin Arkestra issue Sonkei as a vinyl Contemporary Jazz statement that favors tight ensemble interplay over solo fireworks. Horn-led arrangements ride jittery, polyrhythmic grooves and warm low-end — the group’s attention to dynamics and space keeps each passage focused. With 63 listens from 12 users, Sonkei reads like a crate-digger’s discovery for band-led modernism on rings.
