But it's not all about technical skill with Ridout. Tracks like "Soulful Serenade" reveal a tender side to the musician, with lush melodies and emotive solos that speak straight to the heart.

Overall, "No Excuses" is a bold statement from a young musician unafraid to push boundaries and challenge the status quo. Ridout's passion and energy are palpable throughout the album, making it a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking for something fresh and exciting.
